The Russian invasion of Ukraine has had a profound impact on the global energy market.
The over reliance of European nations on Russian fossil fuels has posed a significant challenge to supply security.
Italy, as one of the largest importers of natural gas, sourced 40% of its gas from Russia until 2021.
However, in 2022, Italy reduced its dependence on Russian imports to 19% of its total natural gas imports.
Against this backdrop, Italy is projected to achieve a cumulative installed capacity of 162.7GW from renewable sources by 2035, with the share of renewables increasing to 69% in its power capacity mix, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
GlobalData’s latest report, “Italy Power Market Size, Trends, Regulations, Competitive Landscape and Forecast, 2024-2035” reveals that Italy is expected to have 107.7GW of renewable capacity by 2030, with the share of renewables in total annual generation reaching around 59% by 2030.
Sudeshna Sarmah, Power Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “The severe drought in 2022 significantly impacted Italy’s power market, as hydropower generation decreased from 31.2TWh in 2021 to 13.7TWh in 2022.
In the absence of nuclear power, the country increased its thermal power generation by 8.4%, rising from 163.4TWh in 2021 to 177.1TWh in 2022. Additionally, electricity imports reached a total of 47.4 TWh.”
In 2022, the Italian government introduced the “National Plan for the Containment of Natural Gas,” aimed at reducing the country’s natural gas consumption. As a supplementary measure, Italy has begun importing natural gas from Azerbaijan, Algeria, and Libya.
While this provides temporary relief, the nation must focus on enhancing its renewable energy capacity to achieve self-sufficiency.
In 2023, Italy revised its renewable energy generation objective, setting a new target of achieving 65% by 2030.
Sarmah adds: “The upgrade of renewable targets should also come up with robust measures and a clear roadmap with definitive objectives to achieve them and overcome its dependency on natural gas and electricity imports.”
Sarmah concludes: “Italy remains committed to eliminating coal-powered plants by 2025. The government aims to strengthen its national grid and prioritize the swift development of renewable energy sources. Additionally, the country is expected to revise its National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP).
” The current target outlined in the NECP is to reach 93.2GW of renewable power capacity by 2030, with solar PV systems expected to contribute 50GW and wind power slated to provide 19.3GW.”

South Africa-based lobby group, AfriForum, has hinted about its plans to go to the law court to stop the country’s electricity regulator, NERSA, from increasing its electricity tariff.
Municipalities have applied for an electricity tariff increment and it is scheduled for implementation on the 1st of July.
A High Court order from October 2022 and the Electricity Regulation Act 4 of 2006, both require that mandatory cost studies are undertaken before any increment in tariff. However, it appears that that has not been done.
In a statement, AfriForum accused NERSA of not complying with the court order as they have sent a communication to municipalities where they are now providing municipalities with a new revenue requirement template that they can use when applying for rate increases–instead of the cost of supply study as the court ordered.
“The use of an approved template rather than the cost of supply study is a concern as it could mean that Nersa acts contrary to the court order. We are looking for verifiable figures to indicate what municipalities’ rates should be.
A cost of supply study is the starting point to steer municipalities and Nersa in the right direction,” Morné Mostert, AfriForum Manager of Local Government Affairs, said in a statement.
“For the past decade, there was a responsibility of municipalities to set up what they call or what the act calls a cost of supply studies basically, a study that informs you on what the exact tariff is that the municipality can ask Nersa.
Remember that municipalities make a profit from selling electricity, so it’s very important for us the consumers to understand what tariff they charge you,” he added.

The Ghana Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors (CBOD) last Friday contributed to the national effort of restoring the West African nation’s forest cover by planting trees.
In 2021, President of Ghana H.E Nana Akufo-Addo initiated Green Ghana day and has since become an annual event where citizens are rallied to plant trees.
In commemoration of this year’s Green Ghana Day, 50 members and officials of the Chamber participated in a tree-planting exercise at the Chipa Forest Reserve near Agomeda in the Eastern Region.
The Chamber’s members planted a diverse range of trees, including acacia, cassia, and mahogany, all of which are well-suited for environmental restoration efforts.
These resilient species not only contribute to increased forest cover but also promote biodiversity and soil health.
Speaking in an interview Chief Executive Officer of CBOD, Dr. Patrick Ofori said: “We are dedicated to ensuring the long-term success of this initiative. We are committed to a “maintenance culture” for the planted trees.
He said CBOD will collaborate with the Forestry Commission and revisit the planting site every quarter to monitor the progress of the trees and implement any necessary maintenance measures.”
The Chamber believes that planting trees aligns perfectly with Ghana’s national goals for environmental sustainability and public well-being.
“Healthy forests provide numerous benefits, including improved air and water quality, reduced soil erosion, and increased habitat for wildlife,” Dr Patrick Ofori said.
Through this initiative and others like it, CBOD strives to be a responsible corporate citizen, contributing to a greener and healthier Ghana for future generations.

The second largest state-owned power generation company in Ghana – Bui Power Authority (BPA) – has called on Chiefs and people in the Bui area to support the company’s climate resilience initiatives that seek to reforest degraded lands in the area to protect the Bui Basin which the Bui Dam is situated.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BPA, Hon. Samuel Kofi Ahiave Dzamesi, made the call in a speech read for him by Ing. Samuel Nimako-Boateng, Director for Power Operations, at the commemoration of Green Ghana Day last Friday at the Bui Generation Station (BGS).
In 2012, BPA commenced a pilot Forest Resource Enhancement Programme (FREP) initiative which has seen a significant expansion from a coverage area of 423.67 acres to 1,433acres under the leadership of the current CEO.
“It is significant to note that due to the recurrent bushfires that often characterize the savannah ecological zone, we had to expand our coverage systematically whilst
ensuring we properly safeguard our investments. It is, therefore, remarkable to announce that during
the year 2023/2024 dry season, no single tree was lost through the bushfires as a result of the
implementation of a well-coordinated Bushfire Management Plan,” the BPA CEO disclosed.
He placed emphasis on Goal 13 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: which advocates for Climate Actions .
He therefore calls for a strong political will with an increased investment using available technologies and that BPA on its part, was deploying more renewables such as hydro, solar and others to limit the global mean temperature from rising up to two degrees celsius above the pre-industrial levels.
“We are committed to ensuring the planting of trees and the conservation of the forest through our flagship programme – FREP – to ameliorate the threats of the climate change to our operations,” he stressed.
He further pledged his commitment to expanding the BPA FREP which is in tandem with the Green Ghana Project.
He indicated that aside from the reforestation of the degraded lands, the conservation of some 26 economic indigenous tree species within the area was ongoing backed by a policy approved by the Board of Directors of BPA.
Hon. Dzamesi commended the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for his commitment towards such a great initiative and thanked all the stakeholders who have supported this year’s celebration to be a success.
Delivering a welcome message, the Director of Occupational Health, Safety, Security and Environment, Mr. Chrisentus B. Kuunifaa, indicated that a total of ten million (10 million) seedlings were being planted across the country to mark the 4th edition of Green Ghana Day – 2024 through the Forestry Commission under the auspices of the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, of which BPA was planting a total of 16,003 tree species comprising gmelina, teak, mahogany, cedralla and ceiba at the Bui generating station to increase the forest cover.
He further stated that, “climate change is imminent and building climate resilience is crucial to realise an important relationship that is a Water-Energy-Forest nexus to guarantee a sustainable hydro power deployment”.
Mr. Kuunifaa, therefore, envisioned that the trees being planted would go a long way “to create more carbon sinks, improve micro climate, the hydrological cycle and provide ecosystem services.”

Ghana’s President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has noted that African countries risk experiencing excess heatwaves if care is not taken.
This, he said, is the reason why Ghana initiated ‘Green Ghana Day’ to grow more trees to mitigate the ripple effects of extreme weather and climate change.
He explained that some 42 million trees have been planted so far, with at least 80 per cent of them surviving.
President Akufo-Addo made these remarks at the commemoration of this year’s ‘Green Ghana’ tree planting initiative, which aims to plant ten million trees across the country.
He called on all Ghanaians to make it a duty to plant a tree and nurture it to maturity.
President Akufo-Addo also called on the private sector to financially support the Green Ghana project, aiming to lessen the burden on the public purse.
Highlighting the alarming impacts of climate change, President Akufo-Addo referenced the dire situation in South Sudan, the horne of Africa, where extreme heatwaves are threatening human habitation.
He noted that air pollution is responsible for approximately 6.7 million deaths annually, and biodiversity loss continues to endanger ecosystems worldwide.
“The science tells us that forests play a crucial role in sustaining life on earth and tackling the triple planetary crises,” the President stated.
He pointed out that Agriculture, Forest and Land Use (AFOLU) activities contribute significantly to Ghana’s greenhouse gas emissions, and maintaining forests is essential for carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation and pollution control.
He noted that since the inception of the Green Ghana Project, over 42 million trees have been planted, and the 2024 goal is to add another 10 million, bringing the total to 52 million trees in just four years.
This ambitious target, he said, aligns with Ghana’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 64 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2030.
President Akufo-Addo called on all Ghanaians to embrace the theme of this year’s Green Ghana Day, ‘Growing for a Greener Tomorrow’.
He urged citizens from all walks of life to participate in the national tree planting exercise, emphasising the importance of nurturing the planted trees to maturity to achieve a sustainable future.
He also appealed to the private sector to support this noble venture, emphasising that it should not burden the public treasury.
“Let us go out, not only to plant trees, but grow them for a ‘Green Tomorrow.’ This is a duty we owe not only to the current generation but to generations yet to come,” he declared.
The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Samuel A. Jinapor, praised President Akufo-Addo’s unwavering support for the Green Ghana initiative.
He highlighted the President’s leadership in environmental protection and forest restoration since the programme’s inception in 2021.
Minister Jinapor expressed gratitude to the Ghana Armed Forces for their vital role in the programme’s organisational success, particularly in the logistics and distribution of seedlings while announcing their planting of over 1000 tree seedlings as their quota to support the 2024 Green Ghana Day.
The Minister outlined Ghana’s significant strides in global forest management and climate action.
At COP26 in Glasgow, Ghana played a pivotal role in the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration to halt and reverse forest loss by 2030.
This leadership has been recognised globally, leading to Ghana’s co-chairing of the Forest and Climate Leaders’ Partnership (FCLP) alongside the United States.
This partnership aims to balance forest protection with food production and advance nature-based climate solutions.
Highlighting the impact of these initiatives, Mr Jinapor noted that Ghana was the second GDB country in Africa and the third globally to receive results-based payments from the World Bank’s Carbon Fund for reducing emissions.
“The Green Ghana Day has become a cornerstone of these efforts, with the survival rate of planted trees increasing significantly each year, from 67% in 2021 to 81% in 2023. This year’s theme, ‘Growing for a Greener Tomorrow’, reflects the commitment to not just planting trees but ensuring their growth and contribution to the fight against climate change,” he added.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation(SGF) George Akume, has condemned the shutdown of the national grid by the organised labour, describing it as a “treasonable offense”
Addressing the National Executive Council of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Abuja, on Thursday, June 6,2024, Mr Akume said that there was nowhere in the world where labour ever interrupted the national grid, and advised labour against actions that could jeopardise government efforts.
“It is treason! Treasonable felony is economic sabotage, you don’t do that.
“We are trying to rebuild the economy. The nation is picking up, and they want to destroy it. Of what use is that to all of us? That is not the way,” he said.
Mr Akume said that the federal government was not only committed to paying new minimum wage, stressing that it was also focusing on productivity and economic stability.
“Our people must rise up and have something in their pockets. It is not about demanding N100,000 without productivity.
“We are looking at controlling inflation and ensuring a balanced economy,” he asserted as carried News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
The SGF urged Nigerians to remain calm in spite of the current economic challenges.
“Nigerians must remain calm. President Bola Tinubu is working to improve the economy,” Akume said in Abuja on Thursday, while addressing the National Executive Council of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
He said that the current administration took over power when the economy was in a turbulent state, noting, however, that massive reforms were being undertaken.
“One of them, which appears to be a little bit tough for people to understand, is the removal of subsidy on fuel. People should stop shouting; they need to know the actual truth,” Mr Akume stated.
He said that government had taken several measures to address current hardships, including swift actions in implementing palliatives to cushion the effects of the reforms.
“We are all aware of the N35,000 wage award for workers, which means a N30,000 minimum wage with 35,000 on top of that.
“Additionally, 100 billion naira for CNG fuel buses will help reduce transportation costs and food prices,” he added.
He said that government also took some measures to support various sectors.
“These include the allocation of N125 billion in conditional grants and financial inclusion for medium and small enterprises, and 150 billion naira in palliative loans to states to mitigate the impact of fuel subsidy removal.
“We are providing 200 billion naira to support the cultivation of hectares of land, which is even more now,” Akume said.
He added that there were buses ready to be distributed soon, while rice and other essentials would also be made available.

The Central African Republic(CAR) authorities have announced the temporary requisition of six out of eleven Tamoil service stations in Bangui.
According to a report by African News, these stations will be managed for 45 days to ensure regular fuel supply, salary payments, and tax contributions.
The Minister for Energy Development and Hydraulic Resources, Arthur Bertrand Piri recently fined Tamoil 200 million CFA francs (about 300,000 euros) for not maintaining fuel supplies.
In response, Tamoil defended itself, noting that Cameroonian company Neptune has had exclusive import rights since September.
Recently, gasoline shortages have affected both former Total stations and competitors, with private companies struggling to obtain sufficient fuel. The shortages are attributed to limited stocks and inadequate supplies transported by road from Douala.
Despite ongoing disputes since acquiring Total’s operations, Tamoil’s owner, Rochefort & Associates, remains committed, focusing on reopening provincial stations and resuming airport activities.
For more than a month, CAR has faced a a series of fuel shortage, with Bangui being the hardest hit. Long lines of cars and motorcycles queue at service stations, hoping to get fuel.
While most stations are closed, a few struggle to stay open, working tirelessly to serve customers until they run out of fuel by around 10 am local time.
This effort is insufficient as the price per liter has skyrocketed from 2,000 to 3,000 francs.
Street vendors are forced to go to neighboring Congo to procure fuel, reselling it at high prices. The economic impact is already evident, and concerns are growing across the country.

Three persons have been killed in Rivers State in the Federal Republic of Nigeria after a fuel tanker exploded on Tuesday.
The tragic incident occurred when a petrol-laden tanker veered off the road, colliding with a taxi and bursting into flames at the Obiri Ikwerre flyover section of the East-West Road at about 9:00 am on Tuesday.
SP Grace Iringe-Koko, the spokesperson of Rivers State Police Command, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt that the car’s occupants were severely burnt and that they could not be identified.
“I can confirm that three persons perished after a tanker carrying petrol fell on a commercial vehicle at the Obiri Ikwerre flyover stretch of the East-West Road.
“The Fire Service has successfully put out the fire, but the area has been cordoned off due to ongoing petrol leakage from the tanker.
“The Commissioner of Police, Tunji Disu, and I were on the ground earlier to assess the situation,” she said.
Iringe-Koko added that traffic has been diverted from the flyover to alternative routes to prevent further casualties.
The incident happened a few kilometres from the Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital and the University of Port Harcourt.
There was an extensive gridlock stretching a few kilometres on the road that connects to the ₦200 billion Ring Road project currently being constructed by the Rivers Government.
An eyewitness, Ebiere Faith, noted the explosion’s impact was felt kilometres from her office.
“Some individuals said that their glass windows were shattered due to the impact of the explosion,” she added.

GOIL PLC, a leading indigenous oil company in the Republic of Ghana has maintained its dividend to shareholders despite a challenging year.
This was announced at the company’s 55th Annual General Meeting of shareholders held in Accra.
The meeting which was also attended by other stakeholders declared a dividend of GH¢0.056 per share, amounting to GH¢21,944,335.00 for the year ending 31st December.
The Board Chairman of the company, Mr Reginald Daniel Laryea, told shareholders that despite a tough operating environment, GOIL PLC achieved a modest profit of GH¢54.7 million profit.
He explained that the adoption of sound financial, operating and marketing strategies enabled the company to achieve modest consolidated profit in the face of difficulties it faced in 2023.
This includes high operational costs, elevated inflationary pressures and higher utility costs.
This was in addition to industry-wide product quality issues which have been successfully resolved.
GOIL, he said, would continue to showcase its resilience in its ability to generate returns for shareholders as a demonstration of keeping faith with them even in times of difficulties.
He expressed appreciation for the steadfast support and confidence shareholders of GOIL have in the company, saying, “Your shareholding is highly valued and cherished, thus, the decision to maintain the dividend payment. This reflects our commitment to shareholder value and our optimism for the future of your company.”
On assets, Mr Laryea noted that even though the consolidated total assets decreased from GH¢4.6 billion in 2022 to GH¢4.0 billion in 2023, the consolidated non-current assets including property, plant and equipment grew from GH¢1.4 billion in 2022 to GH¢1.6 billion in 2023, representing a 14.58 per cent increase. This highlights the company’s continued investment in key assets to support future growth and sustainability, he asserted.
GOIL, he noted, has also identified a strategic partner with whom it has signed a Farmout Agreement after conducting mutual due diligence.
The signing of a new farm-out agreement followed the pull-out and exit of ExxonMobil from the Deepwater Cape Three Points (DWCTP) block Petroleum Agreement (PA).
