Editor's Notes
First I must introduce the subject saying that Africa’s lack of access to electricity is unique in the world. Sub-Saharan Africa has 13% of the world’s population, but 48% of the share of the global population without access to electricity. Only 32% of the population has access to electricity in Africa.
Almost 600 million people and 10 million of SME lack access to electricity. Only seven countries—Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, Ghana, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa—have electricity access rates exceeding 50%. The rest of the continent has an average grid access rate of just 20%. In average in rural areas, only 5% of the population has access to electricity.
In 2040, despite actual progress, more than 530 million people will still not have access to electricity due to population growth.
This comes with consequences.
On the figure on the right, you can see that there is a direct correlation between economic growth and electricity supply.
Countries with electrification rates of less than 80% of the population suffer from reduced GDP per capita. A lack of access to electricity slows down economic development, the creation of small enterprises and prevent big companies to settle where there is not a reliable power supply. For instance , Sub-Saharan African manufacturing companies loose 5.5% of annual benefits due to power outages.
