Africa’s Best Energy Choice: Geothermal Power

Africa is on a mission to provide universal energy access and promote green industrialization. However, the continent is still struggling to ensure a reliable supply of baseload electricity. Nigeria loses an estimated $26 billion per year due to power outages and shortages, while Ethiopia and Uganda regularly experience blackouts caused by droughts that reduce hydropower production. Throughout Africa, expensive and polluting diesel generators serve as a temporary solution, highlighting the urgency of finding a more sustainable energy source.
