Renewable energy is already giving millions of people in Africa access to electricity for the first time. However, across the continent over 640 million Africans still have no access to electricity.

This equates to approximately 40% of the population having access to electricity. Per capita consumption of electricity in sub-Saharan Africa (excluding South Africa) is 180 kWh, compared to 13,000 kWh per capita in the United States and 6,500 kWh in Europe.

Ethiopia, with the support of the International Finance Corporation, recently initiated Round 2 of Scaling Solar seeking to cover 6 new projects with a total capacity of up to 750MW. Ethiopia is the fourth country in Africa to join the IFC’s Scaling Solar programme. Uganda and Zambia, like the more established programmes in Ethiopia and Kenya, are encouraging the development of geothermal energy projects.

The recent implementation of legal reforms to energy markets in Angola and Botswana highlights the drive of central governments to provide legislative support for ambitious renewable energy development initiatives.
