This document provides an overview of the energy and power sector in Africa. It notes that $1 trillion is needed over the next 20 years to meet Africa's growing power demand. Currently, 60% of Africa's population lacks electric access and mining accounts for 30% of electricity demand. Renewable energy investment in Africa was only 1% of the global total in 2011. The document outlines the current and planned capacity for renewable energy sources across several African countries and identifies South Africa as a focus for its renewable energy goals and investment in transmission and distribution infrastructure.
