Description: AfDB’s New Deal on Energy for Africa 2016-2025. The starting point for this analysis is the AfDB’s “aspirational vision to achieve universal access to electricity by 2025 – 100% access in urban areas and 95% access in rural areas.” The Strategy goes further in terms of establishing “strategic building blocks to achieve universal access”, which by 2025 include 130 million new grid connections and 75 million end-users benefiting from off-grid solutions.
