eastern africa power pool eapp is a regional institution established in 2005 to coordinate cross border power trade and grid interconnection among nations of the eastern africa region the eapp currently has thirteen 13 member countries that signed the inter governmental memorandum of understanding igmou and fourteen utilities that signed the inter utility memorandum of understanding iumou the pool comprises the following countries burundi djibouti democratic republic of congo drc rwanda egypt ethiopia kenya sudan tanzania uganda and libya south sudan and somalia joined recently and there s a possibility that eritrea may join the eapp s general secretariat is based in addis ababa ethiopia with a mandate to coordinate the development and functioning operation of the power pool the

transform the eastern part of africa to a region of communities and business with universal access to reliable and affordable modern energy services from a sustainable generation resource to transform the eastern part of africa to a region recognized as one of the best investment destinations in the world by energy intensive users our mission to facilitate least cost development of the interconnected electrical power system in the eastern africa region in a manner which is socially and environmentally sustainable to facilitate reliable safe and efficient operation of the interconnected electrical system in the eastern africa region to facilitate the development of competitive electricity market in the eastern africa region to facilitate the development of local expertise to ensure sustained optimal expansion as well as reliable operation of the interconnected power grid and the regional electricity market our core values transparency we value transparent relationships with our employees members and the community at large as transparency breeds trust and trust is the foundation of teamwork diversity we value diversity as it provides the essential skill and knowledge mix to realize organizational objectives reliability we value reliability as that forms the basis for trust with stakeholders professionalism we honor professionalism in all we do and engage in responsible decision making that reflects the highest standards of ethical conduct our strategic objectives to secure power supply for the region s countries optimize the usage of energy resources available in the region by working out regional investment scheme in power generation transmission and distribution taking into account the environment effects to increase power supply in the region in order to increase access rate of the population to electricity in eastern africa to reduce electricity production cost in the region by using power system interconnection and increase power exchange between countries to provide efficient coordination between various initiatives taken in the field of power production transmission as well as exchange in the region to create in the framework of new economic partnership for african development nepad a conductive environment for investment in order to facilitate integration projects financing in the fields of power generation and transmission in the region facilitate in the long term development of electricity market in the region energy resources and the power sector in the region the eastern africa region has rich energy resources hydro geothermal oil gas etc a large and rapidly growing population 40 of africa s population in 2017 and strong economic growth seven of the fastest growing sub saharan countries however the region is hampered by low access to electricity services except for egypt and libya insufficient installed generation capacity a high cost of supply limited electricity interconnections and comparatively high electricity distribution losses this situation is however changing as countries in the region have actively been implementing new power generation and transmission projects the region also has a strategic geographic location with the southern african power pool sapp to the south and the middle east to the north eapp countries are becoming increasingly interconnected the connection to sapp through the tanzania zambia interconnector is under implementation and plans to connect to the middle east through ethiopia and sudan are being discussed noting that egypt is already connected to jordan presently there are four synchronized networks or interconnected clusters as explained in the 2019 power balance statement for eapp in the eapp region the egypt libya synchronized network the ethiopia sudan djibouti synchronized network the kenya uganda synchronized network and the rwanda burundi east drc synchronized network countries in the region also operate cross border transmission distribution lines which are used to supply or electrify remote or isolated border cities in one country from the closest power grid of a neighbouring country current projects and programs power trading through common planning and implementation of regional generation and transmission interconnection projects was identified as an important strategy of the eapp for tackling the problems associated with power shortages low access high cost and poor power system reliability based on the situational analysis and the priority areas of action indicated in the eapp road map and strategic plan 2018 2027 the following four strategic themes have been established power infrastructure development development of regional power market excellence in operational
