Impact of climate change on energy sector is complex and multidimensional however, one obvious impact on hydro power especially in Africa is continuous drying up of rivers and rapid recession of lakes and similar water body there by reduce the capacity for energy production from hydropower
Climate change has affected the energy sector in many ways. Most households depend on firewood and this has has declined. This has led to clearing of forests for production of charcoal. There has been great encroachment into the natural forests and wood lands The cost of affordable bioenergy for domestic consumption has increased.
Changes in temperature, precipitation, sea level, and the frequency and severity of extreme events will affect how much energy is produced, delivered, and consumed in different countries.
Here i have some word on EU on the impacts of climate change on the energy sector. You can take a look of this.
Energy is at the core of economic and social activity. As the European Environmental Agency (EEA)states , energy is essential for the generation of industrial, commercial and societal wealth. It also provides personal comfort and mobility. However, energy production and consumption place considerable pressure on the environment: greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions, land use, and waste generation.
A European Commission White Paper published in 2009 outlines the main direct impacts of climate change in the energy sector in terms of both supply and demand.
The projected impact of climate change on precipitation and glacier melt indicate that hydropower production could increase by 5% or more in northern Europe and decrease by 25% or more in southern Europe. Decreased precipitation and heat waves are also expected to influence negatively the cooling process of thermal power plants. On the demand side, increasing summer peaks for cooling and impacts from extreme weather events will affect in particular electricity distribution.
Enhancing the EU's resilience to the impacts of climate change also means the chance to invest in a low-carbon economy, for instance, by promoting energy efficiency and the uptake of green products. In 2014, the Commission presented a framework for climate and energy policies in the period 2020 to 2030, setting out ambitious targets for greenhouse gas emissions reduction and renewable energy as part of the Union's transition to a competitive low carbon economy. For example, by 2020, at least 20% of the energy supply in the European Union should come from renewable sources.
