Data collection and analysis has been central to African Energy's work since it was established in 1998.
In September 2017 we launched African Energy Live Data, an innovative online database featuring continually updated and verified data and profiles on more than 6,500 power plants and projects across Africa and the organisations behind them.
African Energy’s newsletter helps keep senior energy executives up to date with what is happening across the continent, including news and analysis of market developments, project awards and the political and governance issues that impact on the business environment.
The newsletter is editorially independent, funded purely from subscription revenue and has been produced by a team of experienced staff journalists and consultants since 1998.
