In collaboration with PTR Inc., the report titled African Power Grid: Bridging the T&D Investment Gap highlights Africa’s need for urgent investment in its T&D infrastructure. With 600 million people lacking electricity, high T&D losses (17%), and frequent outages, the report stresses private sector participation to upgrade the grid, integrate renewable energy, and support transport electrification. Reforms like cost-reflective tariffs and regulatory bodies are key to attracting investment, with projects like the Egypt-Saudi Arabia HVDC link showcasing cross-border energy potential.
