Africas's Energy Challenges
Nearly two out of three Africans lack access to modern, reliable energy, and the population is expected to double by 2050.

However, the
and the development of low-carbon solutions, particularly decentralized solar
, offer Africa an opportunity to leapfrog stages and reduce the energy divide.
