Transforming utility systems in Sub-Saharan Africa: Key takeaways from the West Africa Utilities Roundtable
How can we make progress toward innovative, bold, and affordable power utility systems in Sub-Saharan Africa? With only 53% of West Africans currently having access to electricity — and the region’s population of 440 million expected to double by 2050 — we must urgently improve utility performance. Last month, Clean…
