On-Grid Energy Sector

Africa's energy sector is experiencing significant growth, with electricity generation increasing by 19% since 2014. However, this progress is uneven, and per capita consumption remains significantly lower than the global average. While Central Africa leads in growth, challenges persist, including low wealth levels and the need for equitable and sustainable energy access. The African Forum for Utility Regulators (AFUR) plays a key role in driving regulatory improvements and facilitating knowledge sharing and capacity development among regulators to address these challenges. This section explores the key trends, challenges, and regulatory considerations shaping Africa's energy landscape, highlighting the crucial role of off-grid solutions and grid expansion in bridging the energy gap
