The goal of EAPP is to be a framework for pooling energy resources, promoting power exchanges between utilities in Eastern Africa in order to secure their respective power supply, provide mutual assistance in case of failure in their respective power systems and reduce power supply costs based on an integrated master plan and pre-established rules (Grid code).
There are currently ten (13) member countries of the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) who have signed the Inter-Governmental MOU (IGMOU). Utilities and national regulators become members of the EAPP once their country signs the IGMOU.
