Abstract
This paper provides an overview and insight into the transformation of the West Africa Power Pool into a regional electricity market from a technical and socio-economic perspective. It summarizes efforts made to date, identifies and evaluates opportunities for improvement and proposes some considerations for future development. The balance of the paper presents key observations and issues affecting electricity markets in Africa and in particular the West African region.
