Dear millennial, let's talk energy⚡
According to the Africa Energy Outlook 2019, the number of people living in Africa’s cities is expected to increase by 600 million over the next two decades, much higher than the increase experienced by China’s cities during the country’s 20-year economic and energy boom. Africa’s overall population is set to exceed 2 billion before 2040, accounting for half of the global increase over that period.
These profound changes will drive the continent’s economic growth, infrastructure development and, in turn, energy demand, which is projected to rise 60 per cent to around 1,320 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2040, based on current policies and plans. This calls for a rapid increase in supply on the continent, to which all forms of energy must contribute in the decades ahead.
Africa, therefore, has a unique opportunity to pursue sustainable energy development as a basis for long-term prosperity. What energy mix will ensure the continent meets its power demands; bring development to rural areas, spur industrial growth and support increased prosperity across the continent?
