Description: This paper explores the energy transition in sub-Saharan Africa. Containing an enormous proportion of the world’s poorest people, coupled with limited economic opportunities and unfavourable conditions for investment, the region has seen access to clean energy severely hampered. The analysis will initially focus on the issues of energy insecurity that continue to plague the area in question, where a lack of investment – compounded by climate change, regional conflict, and population growth – has restricted the development of renewable energy infrastructure.
