Established in 1998, African Energy is a leading provider of insightful news, analysis and quality data on Africa’s energy industries. We work with public and private sector entities to support decision-making throughout all stages of the project and investment lifecycle.
African Energy's newsletter provides unique angles and insight on project news, policy, energy market trends, 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 analysts since 1998.

In September 2017 we launched African Energy Live Data, an innovative online power database featuring continually updated profiles on more than 6,700 power plants and projects and the organisations behind them.
We can tailor our data offering for a wide range of uses including support for sales and investment opportunities, energy modelling, mapping, sector and competitor analysis or case studies.
We work with governments and companies to help find sustainable solutions to close Africa’s energy gap and support a clean energy transition across the continent.
We achieve these aims by providing exclusive power data, market intelligence, and monitoring and evaluation services that support decision-making throughout all stages of the project development and investment cycle.
