This document discusses opportunities for power investment in Africa. It notes that installed power generation capacity in sub-Saharan Africa is only 123 GW for 883 million people, compared to 245 GW for Russia's 142 million people. The power sector in Africa is characterized by strong growth, with electricity demand increasing at a 5-11% compound annual growth rate between 2008-2030. However, many African countries remain underserved, with electrification rates ranging from 15-40% compared to over 85% in the US and South Africa. The document promotes investment in Africa's power sector to boost generation capacity and electrification to meet rising demand. It provides contact information for the CEO of TransCentury, a company that can provide more details
