Description: West Africa’s power sector faces numerous challenges with consistent demand growth, high tariff for industries, affordability and reliability, the question of alternative generation capacities has been brought to the fore.
Bringing electricity to more households and businesses, improving reliability, and harnessing the region’s substantial renewable energy resources—day or night—will help accelerate West Africa’s economic and social transformation.
Over the past decade, the World Bank has financed close to $2.3 billion of investments in infrastructure and reforms in support of the West African Power Pool. Financing and moving towards renewables is considered the key to achieving universal access to electricity by 2030 in the 15 ECOWAS countries.
Future Energy Nigeria will be continuing with its tradition of delivering interactive discussions, podcasts and articles geared towards the entire West Africa region.
