By 2030, Africa will be home to one-fifth of the world's population and is poised to play a larger role in the global energy sector. According to the IEA, despite abundant resources, per capita energy use remains exceptionally low, representing only 6% of global energy consumption and less than 3% of global energy-related CO2 emissions.
At the Regional to Global conference, held in Port-Louis, Mauritius, the main topic of discussion was African projects for the development of fossil fuels sector. The African countries are also preparing to improve the
security of energy supplies on the continent.
Progress in electrification has been noticeable in sub-Saharan Africa since the beginning of the century, Sergey Brilev, the president of the Global Energy association pointed out.
According to him, access to electricity has increased from 26% to 52%. This is partly due to the commissioning of renewable
energy sources, including hydroelectric power plants.
Brilev also emphasized the role of the Soviet Union in developing large hydroelectric projects in
Egypt and Ethiopia. This highlights that "everything is possible in Africa," he concluded.
