It is Time to End Energy Poverty in Africa, it’s Time to Get it Right

WHY THIS SUMMIT MATTERS NOW

Africa stands at a critical energy crossroads. Despite being richly endowed with oil, gas, solar, hydro, and wind resources, the continent is facing a deepening energy crisis. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), over 600 million Africans still lack access to electricity, and more than 900 million rely on biomass such as firewood and charcoal for cooking—leading to deforestation, poor health outcomes, and economic stagnation.

As the world races toward energy transition and net-zero emissions, Africa risks being left behind—not due to a lack of resources, but due to underinvestment, policy misalignment, and fragmented strategies. The continent loses an estimated $130 billion in GDP annually due to inadequate energy access and unreliable infrastructure. Furthermore, less than 3% of global energy investments are currently directed to Africa, despite its immense potential and rising demand.

With the continent’s population projected to double to 2.5 billion by 2050, and urbanization accelerating at an unprecedented rate, the pressure on energy systems will only intensify. Without bold action, Africa’s energy poverty could worsen—jeopardizing industrialization, food security, healthcare, and climate resilience.

This is why the theme of IAEOG 2025, “Getting It Right,” is not just timely—it is critical.

2025 THEME: “GETTING IT RIGHT”

This year’s theme, “Getting It Right,” reflects Africa’s urgent need for inclusive, innovative, and sustainable energy solutions. With over 600 million Africans still lacking access to electricity and just 17% of the continent’s vast renewable energy potential currently utilized, the summit aims to catalyze transformative action. Energy poverty costs the continent an estimated 4% of its GDP annually. IAEOG 2025 will tackle these challenges head-on by promoting policy harmonization, strategic investments, and collaborative partnerships, aligned with the goals of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and Agenda 2063.

The summit will feature eight thematic tracks, including:

  • Energy Transition&Innovation
  • Climate Finance&Sustainability
  • Infrastructure Development
  • Oil&Gas Technologies
  • Regulatory Reforms
  • Capacity Building&Local Content
  • Investment&Finance
  • Digital Transformation in Energy

IAEOG 2025 is poised to catalyze over $1 billion in clean energy investments.

The future belongs to those who prepare for it today. With a Population of over 1.5 Billion, Africa’s energy destiny will not be written by chance—but by bold choices, shared vision, and unwavering action. Too often, we delay our dreams waiting for the perfect timing, the right tools, or a bigger platform. But the truth is – greatness begins in the ordinary. It is time to “Get it Right”, it is time to end Energy Poverty in Africa”
