Africa's Big Switch (ABS)
Bolaji Akinola-Alli
Modern society depends on reliable and affordable energy services to function smoothly and to develop equitably. A well-established energy system supports all sectors from medicine and education to agriculture, infrastructure, communications and high-technology. [1]However, according to the International Energy Agency, there are over 770 million people in the world today without access to electricity, 77% of which are in Sub-saharan Africa. {2]The Sustainable Development Goal 7 of the UN Agenda, aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030. Given we are only a few years to 2030, we explore the progress, challenges and opportunities for achieving this goal across the African continent.
