Advancements in Hydroelectric and Wind Power Projects Using Carbon Credits in Africa

This report highlights key initiatives presented at the Africa Carbon Forum in Nairobi, March 2010, emphasizing the role of carbon credits in financing sustainable energy projects. It covers significant developments, including the Sahanivotry and Buseruka small hydroelectric power projects, and the Lake Turkana Wind Farm. With project costs ranging from EUR 14 million to EUR 300 million, these initiatives aim to enhance electricity supply, reduce generation costs, and foster long-term socio-economic benefits across Madagascar, Uganda, and Kenya by leveraging ADB loans and other financing routes.
