Africa's Chemical Industry Turns to Captive Power Plants to Improve Reliability

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Power networks are notoriously unreliable in Africa, where constant outages can be expensive for factories and plants. However, in the developing regions, the energy-intensive Chemical Processing Industry is depending more on captive power generation.

Captive power projects for the industry have become more viable, not just because of technological improvements, but also because captive power generation is easier and faster to install.

Industrial Info is tracking 14 active Chemical Processing Industry captive power plant projects, valued at US$1.13 billion, in Africa. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence Chemical Processing Project Database can click here for a list of detailed project reports.

Egypt leads in investments, followed by Morocco.
