African businesses suffer from high energy costs and unreliable connections that limit their competitiveness.
Level 2: The Bank’s contribution to the energy sector. This chapter sets out the Bank’s contribution to Africa’s energy needs, looking at policies, strategies and investments to increase access to affordable and reliable energy. We show how our programmes have developed over recent years, with a shift towards clean and renewable energy and a focus on increasing energy efficiency. We also describe how we have fostered regional cooperation and strengthened governance and energy sector reforms.
