In this study we analyzed the generation and the potential of the electricity\ncapacity of energy mix in East Africa from 2020 to 2040 including CO2 emission.\nThe predicted results show that the electricity generated from hydro will\ndominate compared to gas, oil, coal, Solar PV, bio-energy and other renewable\nenergy. Some forms of energies such as bio-energy, solar PV will contribute\nless, while the contribution of nuclear will remain insignificant. The oil\nwill continue to emit a lot carbon dioxides compared to the emission from gas\nand coal. The emission of CO2 from total final consumption (TFC) of oil will\nbe high compared to its emission from power generation (PG) of oil. More\nimportantly, the results show a linear relationship between the energy outlook\nand time. This approach of modeling the energy in a linear form simplifies\nsignificantly the analysis of the electricity generation and capacity. Due to this\nhigh emission of CO2, a new policy and a transition from conventional to renewable\nshould be implemented with clean and energy efficiency technology.
