IRENA released a new spatiotemporal data atlas, entitled African Renewable Electricity Profiles for Energy Modelling (AfREP) – Hydro, which covers all existing and several hundred committed, planned and potential future hydropower plants across the African continent. The database is accessible through IRENA’s Global Atlas Platform (https://globalatlas.irena.org).
The AfREP-Hydro database, which is fully based on openly accessible information, contains hydropower plants’ (i) geospatial references and the name of the associated river, (ii) status (existing, committed/ planned, candidate), (iii) technical characteristics (e.g. installed capacity, volumetric size of storage, design discharge), and (iv) seasonal (month-bymonth) availability profiles for hydrologically normal years as well as anomalously dry and wet years, taking into account current and future river damming infrastructure...
