framework to develop renewable energy resources in order to change the
energy mix and meet the tremendous increase in energy demand.
In Chapter 8, Mr Marvin Tumusiime also looks at renewable energy
developments in Uganda specifically analysing the challenges and opportunities for small-scale renewable energy.
Part III of the book consists of six chapters that explore the various
critical thematic issues as they relate to energy transition in Africa. In
Chapter 10, local content advancements and their impact on the African
energy sector in the energy transition era are discussed by Dr Rukonge
Muhongo. The chapter focuses on local content policies in the East
African oil and gas sector and draws examples from developed countries
such as Norway.
It is no secret that most African countries have not benefited from
their energy resources; the book thus considers the different initiatives
aimed at promoting local participation. In this respect, Chapter 11 by
Wairimu Karanja & Nduta Njenga, examines Social Licence to Operate
in the oil and gas sector and how these are likely to be impacted by
energy transitions.
Recognizing that women are the significant energy users in Africa,
Ms Alaka Lugonzo & Mr Kennedy Chege discuss gender justice in the
energy transition in Chapter 12. The chapter looks explicitly at gender
justice through the lens of technological advancement in the extractives
sector.
Given the continued role of fossil fuels on the African continent,
Chapter 13 by Ayebare Tom Rukundo analyses Uganda’s upstream fiscal
regime in the energy transition era explicitly looking at the viability of
the country’s upstream projects.
The environmental impacts of fossil fuels and the need to transition
to a low-carbon economy are highlighted by Peter Reat Gatkuoth in
Chapter 14. Focusing on South Sudan as the case study, the chapter
analyses the national and international legal framework to respond to
the environmental impacts of oil and gas activities.
Part IV of the book is concluded by Japhet Miano Kariuki in
Chapter 15, who analyses the regional efforts to power East Africa specifically looking at the key issues with respect to energy investments and the
integrated feed-in-tariff structure for the East African Community.
