Electricity Governance

The Electricity Governance Initiative (EGI) is a joint project of the World Resources Institute in Washington and the Prayas Energy Group in India. In co-operation with Idasa, which leads a consortium of South African civil society organisations and research institutes, it is undertaking a research and advocacy project with the aim of improving governance of the electricity sector in South Africa.

The project also aims to:
- build the capacity and credibility of the consortium’s civil society partners in order to enable them to advocate more effectively for integrating especially these public interests in the energy sector;
- build the capacity of policymakers and regulators to practice better governance in order to build political support for innovations to promote clean energy and energy efficiency.

A further, broader, objective is to assist WRI to prepare an initial analysis of the implications for public interests, including sustainable energy options and social equity, of ongoing efforts to integrate electricity markets in Southern Africa. This analysis will focus on identifying levers for positive change through existing regional processes and institutions.
