BRICS to Drive New Global Energy Architecture and Power Africa’s Future: African Energy Chamber Head
As African nations are projected to produce over 11 million barrels of oil and gas equivalent by 2030, integration into BRICS allows the continent to tap into the diverse energy expertise of member states like Russia and China, NJ Ayuk told Sputnik Africa on the sidelines of the third Russia-Africa Summit.
This strategic cooperation, backed by new financial mechanisms from the BRICS development bank, will be a game-changer in meeting Africa's massive energy needs, he noted.
Additionally, Ayuk highlighted that Russia's Small Modular Reactors—costing just $200–300 million and deployable within 12 to 24 months—can provide the continent with crucial baseload power.
