Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Energy reliability remains a challenge to Africa's socioeconomic progress. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), more than 500 million people across the continent do not have access to electricity. The Sub-Saharan region is the most negatively affected, plagued with old and obsolete power networks and mired by insufficient financing for infrastructure. Countries in northern African generally are in a better position.
More investments are expected to strengthen Africa's electric power grid in the near term. Renewable resources are playing a bigger part in the energy mix, and more countries are pushing for regional interconnection projects. Africa's energy access problem requires multi-dimensional strategies from numerous countries, which in turn will need to be facilitated with favorable policies and regulatory frameworks.
Industrial Info is tracking more than $21 billion worth of transmission and distribution (T&D) projects across Africa. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Power Project Database can click here for a list.
