Notes
In several regions of the world, ranging from western Europe to southern Africa, so-called pools have been established where one country s surplus in power generation can be exported to another which needs more than it can produce. The southern Africa pool, for example, allows power to be switched across the region, from South Africa to Tanzania. Indeed, one group of Western electricity companies is even examining linking an African grid to a South American grid. This would allow Africa s electricity to be sold to, for example, Brazilian homes and industry during the African night for the South American peak time of evening meal preparation. Alright if you can get it.
