Project Insight – Power Generation Construction Projects in the Middle East and Africa
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
The economies of many countries in the Middle East and Africa are largely dependent on commodities, prices for which have declined since 2014. Countries in the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) have been particularly affected by a steep decline in the price of oil, and this has also affected major oil-exporters in Africa, such as Nigeria. The slowdown in the pace of growth in major emerging markets worldwide, notably China, has also impacted those African markets dependent on exporting non-oil commodities.
In 2015 and the first half of 2016, the performance of the region’s economies varied greatly. Ethiopia, Ghana and Kenya have posted solid growth, while Nigeria has been impacted by oil revenue declines. Growth in Zimbabwe’s economy continues to be undermined by chronic mismanagement as shown by recent strikes and the deepening liquidity crisis.
Power generation will be a key factor supporting economic growth, as many countries continue to suffer frequent and prolonged power outages. This has driven the need for power generation investment often using fossil fuels due to the immediate need for energy. However, there have been moves from oil-rich countries in the Middle East and nations in Africa to introduce renewables to the energy mix.
