KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ELECTRICITY REGULATORY INDEX FOR AFRICA, 2022.

The African Development Bank Group's flagship Electricity Regulatory Index for Africa (ERI) measures the level of development of the regulatory framework for the electricity sector in African countries and the capacity of regulatory authorities against internationally accepted best practices. An effective, transparent, predictable and enforceable regulatory framework is widely recognized as a key component of any sustainable electricity sector as it establishes clear rules, standards and practices for the stakeholders. This sends good signals to private investors and gives them the needed confidence to commit to long term energy investments.
This year's is the fifth edition of the Electricity Regulatory Index (ERI). It measures the level of development of electricity sector regulatory frameworks in African countries and the capacity of regulatory authorities to effectively carry out their relevant functions and duties. The report covers 43 of the 45 countries with confirmed regulatory authorities.
