Africa’s Electrification Race Accelerates

from Nigeria News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Tanzania, Nigeria, and Ethiopia are powering Africa’s electrification revolution, connecting over 50 million people in under three years under the World Bank’s Mission 300—aiming to light up 300 million by 2030. Tanzania leads with 7.5 million new connections, Ethiopia follows with 4.67 million thanks to affordable grid power, and Nigeria adds over 4.5 million via off-grid and renewable solutions. Yet eight countries remain untouched despite existing projects, exposing stark disparities. With nearly 600 million still without power, the momentum in Tanzania and Ethiopia proves what’s possible with focused investment—but the real challenge lies in ensuring no one is left in the dark.
