"This book is a must-read for all interested in Zambia and energy policy in the developing world." - Pradeep Chhibber, Professor of Political Science, University of California, Berkeley, USA "Through this brilliant analysis of the country of Zambia and the challenges ahead for its hydropower sector, Imad Ahmed shines a bright light on this emerging crisis and what must be done about it." - Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business, The Fletcher School, Tufts University, USA This book aims to inform better energy policy in hydropower dependent countries which are vulnerable to climate shocks. It focuses on the impact of increasing energy insecurity as global warming affects a fifth of the world population living in hydropower dependent countries facing drought. It uses Zambia as a case study. The book offers supply-side and demand-side recommendations at the national, continental, and global level and contains original data collected to highlight the impact of power outages on manufacturing firms. Imaduddin Ahmed holds a PhD in Infrastructure Economics and Finance from University College London, where he is a Research Fellow. Previously as a Transactions Advisor at the Rwanda Development Board, he helped the Rwandan energy utility execute thermal and renewable Power Purchase Agreements.
