Recognising the benefits of a regional power pool that would reduce investment and operating costs of electricity generation while maximising reliability, SADC passed the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) Inter-Utility Memorandum of Understanding on 7th December 1994. This Memorandum of Understanding establishes an official cooperation among SADC Member States and the extra-SADC nation of Zaire for sharing the costs and benefits of energy generation.
