African Statistical Yearbook 2011
Energy Balances and Electricity Profiles 2008
This publication provides users with quality statistical information to inform Africa’s development initiatives. It aims to break with past practices, whereby each regional/subregional organization published their own statistical data on African countries. It is expected that the joint collection and sharing of data between regional institutions will promote a wider use of country data, reduce costs and significantly improve the quality of the data, leading to better monitoring of development initiatives on the continent. The data contained in this publication are arranged generally for the years 2002 to 2010 or for the last eight years.
This report contains energy balances for about 115 developing countries, showing energy production, trade, conversion and consumption for each fuel used in the country, as well as electricity profiles for about 190 countries, providing detailed information on production trade and consumption of electricity, net installed capacity and thermal power plant input for selected developing and developed countries. This publication is bilingual (English and French) and is available in print and electronic (PDF format) versions.
