NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Green Energy in Africa

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0365402/Green-Energy-in-Africa.html

Introduction

With fluctuating prices of oil and gas and the global economic slowdown in 2008 and 2009, many African nations have further

delayed the assessment of their renewable energy potential. Going

forward, the African electricity sector requires reform, including the further introduction of Feed-in Tariffs, government ownership of transmission systems reduction, and improved third-party access.

Features and benefits

* Achieve a comprehensive understanding of how Africa's market trends and legislation are influencing the development of the renewable

energy market.* Assess the emerging trends in renewable

energy technology – wind power, solar

power, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass capacity and generation.* Quantify value and volume growth

potential in Africa's electricity market and in electricity generation technology type.* Understand the main issues affecting the

general electricity market and renewable

electricity in particular.* Predict the key growth areas in Africa's

renewable energy industry.

Highlights

Due to the rising population and subsequent increase in demand for electricity in Africa, there is an emerging global interest in entering the African renewable energy market to make use of

the abundant available resources such as wind power, solar power, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass. According to the US EIA, there is a large

volume of unutilized wind power potential in the African continent, which will be exploited in the future. Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and South Africa lead the acceleration of wind power capacity

and generation growth in Africa. Small hydropower is set to grow in rural Africa. Africa has large solar power generation

potential which interests Europe in terms of investment potential. Within areas of Sahara desert CSP technology can be deployed through the Desertec

Industrial Initiative (DII). The DII aims to increase electricity demand across North Africa and Middle East, while also targeting that 15% of Europe's demand.

Your key questions answered

* What are the drivers and resistors influencing the renewable energy industry in Africa?* How will renewable energy technologies

capacity grow to 2035? What are the

opportunities?* What is the policy framework governing the renewable energy market in Africa?* Which renewable energy technology types are likely to show strong growth?* What is the potential of the various renewable energy technologies?
