Bridging Africa’s Energy Divide

On CNBC Africa , BCG’s Kesh Mudaly discusses the urgent need to expand Africa’s energy access, where 83% of the global population without electricity resides. He explains that low demand density and economic constraints in rural areas complicate electrification, and that a blend of decentralized and grid-based solutions is essential to avoid a two-tiered energy society. “It’s going to require collaboration across regional states in order to integrate infrastructure and move to an integrated market structure in the long term,” Mudaly asserts.
