Key messages for you today We are already seeing a seismic shift in the energy landscape in Africa The investment gap is massive and is a central priority for change – also, it is a key driver of innovation The fundamentals driving these shifts are expected to continue to accelerate As a result, new energy solutions are already emerging and some are delivering at surprisingly large scale There is still lots of work to do, but Africa is beyond the point of no return 3

Five big challenges to increasing electricity access in Africa Domestic policy/ regulatory • Support cost-reflectivity & transparency in cross-subsidy reform environment • Stable tariff path will bring in long term financiers – pension funds etc. Financing • State should only finance “social equity” type investments e.g., distribution grid Role of the private sector and role of • Utility provides stable environment and credible off-taker the utility • Private sector to bring in new financing, technology innovation and skills Rural • Ensure that the intersection between off-grid and on-grid is effectively electrification managed and delivered Political will • Commit to ensuring the necessary reforms are implemented through the political cycle 10
The opportunity is now It is time to take decisive action and turn around the narrative: to light up and power Africa – and accelerate the pace of economic transformation, unlock the potential of businesses, and drive much needed industrialization to create jobs AfDB President - Akinwumi Adesina 11
