The Future of SAPP, WAPP, CAPP, and EAPP – With Inga IEEE GM 2005 San Francisco June 15, 2005 PURDUE UNIVERSITY F. T. Sparrow Brian H. Bowen Zuwei Yu
Establishment of Africa’s Power Pools
Southern African Power Pool SAPP – well along in their Operation (1995) SAPP Major new lines for increased trading
West African Power Pool WAPP – moving into Operational phase (2000) WAPP Major new lines for increased trading
Central African Power Pool EAPP now in the process of identifying needed HV lines (2005) DRC-Inga with future exports to SAPP, WAPP, EAPP, Egypt
East African Power Pool EAPP Just getting organized expecting a launch late 2005
Proposed Future Africa Grid • International transmission • links within power pools • International transmission • links between pools • During next 10 years • development of lines • CAPP to SAPP &WAPP • CAPP to Egypt & EAPP • CAPP becomes central link • with vital role for Inga site
North American Trading Between Interconnects • System designed for reliability, not economy trades • Result – very little load carrying capability • between regions Pacific DC HV Inter-Tie 3,100MW, 800miles
Total Gross Transactions Between 4 NERC Regions Trade represents 8.8% of total U.S. peak demand
The Feasibility of Grand Inga • The underlying question – is there enough • demand in Africa to justify the enormous • up-front dam construction cost? • The average historic demand growth has • averaged about 2% per year over the last • ten years • Is there enough suppressed demand to • justify the much higher growth rates • projected by member nations?
Forecast Growth in Electricity Demand 1993-2002 Average Historical Growth for:- Egypt = 2.6% Nigeria = 2.4% S. Africa = 1.4% Forecasting 5% + What are low and high scenarios?
Assumptions for Inga Feasibility Analysis • All demand growth in likely export markets for • Inga (SAPP, WAPP, EAPP, Egypt) will be met by • Inga power, not local construction • Growth rates in the range of 2% to 4% per year • Electricity will be sold at 3.5 cents/kWh (otherwise • markets will generate their own electricity) • Inga construction and transmission line costs are • $16 Billion • The cost of capital is 10%
Demand Values & Export Revenues 58,556MW + Egypt capacity 18,000MW = 76,556MW total Assume base year demand with 80% capacity factor = (76,556 x 0.8 x 8,760) MWh Year 1 revenues resulting from increase in demand growth of 2%, electricity price of $30/MWh = $(76,556 x 0.8 x 8,760 x 0.02 x 30.0) = $322M
Inga – Question & Answer Q: When will the annual net revenues from export sales cover the annual capitalized cost of the Inga project? A1: Never if the growth rate is 2% A2: In 19 years if the growth rate is 4% Does this mean Inga should be abandoned? NO – Just broken down into smaller pieces
Growth in Demand & Cost of Capital With economies of scale in construction and a given growth rate in demand, “the higher the cost of capital, then the smaller will become the optimal size of each installation” Alan Manne Stanford University
