| Summary: | Access to energy is essential for economic, social and political development. Despite its enormous potential in fossil and renewable energy sources, Africa suffers from major energy deficits.

As a result, supplies available for local populations are largely insufficient and energy consumption is essentially reliant on biomass. |
