Most of Africa lives in energy poverty. Sub-Saharan Africa produces roughly enough energy to power one 60-watt light bulb per person for 3 hours each day. That means scarce electricity for refrigeration, for running hospitals and schools, or for powering a modern economy. Remarkably, fewer than 1 in 6 rural Africans are connected to an electricity supply. The question remains, what can be done about this? Encouraging access to reliable, affordable energy – including coal – is a first step.
