It is Time to End Energy Poverty in Africa, it's Time to Get it Right
WHY THIS SUMMIT MATTERS NOW Africa stands at a critical energy crossroads. Despite being richly endowed with oil, gas, solar, hydro, and wind resources, the continent is facing a deepening energy crisis. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), over 600 million Africans still lack access to electricity, and more than 900 million rely on biomass such as firewood and charcoal for cooking—leading to deforestation, poor health outcomes, and economic stagnation. As the world races toward energy transition and net-zero emissions, Africa risks being left behind—not due to a lack of resources, but due to underinvestment, policy misalignment, and fragmented strategies. The continent loses an estimated $130 billion in GDP annually due to inadequate energy access and unreliable infrastructure. Furthermore, less than 3% of global energy investments are currently directed to Africa, despite its immense potential and rising demand. With the continent's population projected to double to 2.5 billion by 2050, and urbanization accelerating at an unprecedented rate, the pressure on energy systems will only intensify. Without bold action, Africa's energy poverty could worsen—jeopardizing industrialization, food security, healthcare, and climate resilience. This is why the theme of IAEOG 2025, 'Getting It Right,' is not just timely—it is critical. 2025 THEME: 'GETTING IT RIGHT' This year's theme, 'Getting It Right,' reflects Africa's urgent need for inclusive, innovative, and sustainable energy solutions.

Energy poverty costs the continent an estimated 4% of its GDP annually.
