Abstract

Le but de cette étude est d’évaluer la rente économique potentielle générée par le secteur hydroélectrique en Afrique. La méthodologie utilisée consiste à calculer cette rente comme étant la différence entre les coûts totaux minimisés de deux systèmes énergétiques hypo-thétiques : l’un avec l’hydroélectricité et l’autre sans hydroélectricité. Nos estimations permettent de conclure que la valeur de la rente hydroélectrique avoisinerait 2 $/MWh. Ainsi, le développement de cette source d’énergie aiderait le continent africain à assurer sa transition énergétique, engendrerait des surprofits pour des pays qui disposent d’importants potentiels hydroélectriques et constituerait une source de rente pour tous les autres pays importateurs d’énergie électrique.
