Many of the more than 1 billion people living in 49 sub-Saharan Africa countries are underserved by reliable electricity generation, leaving a massive opportunity for power-generation investment. However, the challenges – namely stimulating demand and designing the right business model – are equally large. S&P Global Experts on Electricity and Energy Storage Sylvia Macri and George Hilton join EnergyCents this week to discuss the state of power generation in Africa, and where to expect hurdles and enablers of wider electrification.
