Power Africa brings together technical and legal experts, the private sector, and governments from around the world to work in partnership to increase the number of people with access to power.

Two out of three people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to electricity. In 2013, Power Africa was launched, bringing together technical and legal experts, the private sector, and governments from around the world to work in partnership to increase the number of people with access to power.

The Goal
Power Africa’s goal is to add more than 30,000 megawatts (MW) of cleaner, more efficient electricity generation capacity and 60 million new home and business connections.

Strength in Partnership
 
Their goals are ambitious, but achievable because they work in partnership. Power Africa brings together the world’s top companies, political leaders, and financial institutions to help overcome Africa’s energy crisis. Power Africa uses collective problem solving to enable African leaders to pave their own future.
