This position paper examines why private investment in electricity transmission remains limited in Africa and argues that appropriate regulation can make transmission an attractive, low-risk infrastructure asset. It focuses particularly on Independent Transmission Projects (ITPs), transmission remuneration, risk allocation, cost recovery and the regulatory changes needed to mobilise private capital for national and cross-border transmission projects.
