- Description
- Launched by President Obama in 2013, Power Africa works with African governments and private sector partners to remove barriers that impede sustainable energy development in sub-Saharan Africa and unlock the substantial wind, solar, hydropower, natural gas, biomass, and geothermal resources on the continent. A unique private sector led model, Power Africa draws on the combined expertise and abilities of more than 150 partners, including 12 U.S. Government agencies, the World Bank Group, the African Development Bank, United Nations' Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative, the Governments of Sweden, Norway, Canada, Japan, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, African governments, and private sector partners. These partners collectively have committed over $50 billion to Power Africa's goals. Power Africa's "Toolbox" approach offers a range of resources and tools to advance key projects on the electricity grid, or beyond it. By leveraging U.S. expertise in energy technology and regulatory reform, combined with U.S. Government and private sector financial resources, Power Africa helps drive quick-impact interventions and policy reforms to push for sustainable energy development. Power Africa's goals are to increase electricity access by adding more than 30,000 megawatts of cleaner, more efficient electricity generation capacity and 60 million new home and business connections across sub-Saharan Africa by 2030. Power Africa also includes the Beyond the Grid sub-initiative, which works to expand rural electrification and access to small scale and off-grid technology.
