African Energy Live Data’s latest assessment of the continent’s power industry shows that almost 2.4GW of on-grid generation capacity was commissioned in the first three quarters of 2024, mostly from hydroelectricity, natural gas and solar.
This took total installed on-grid capacity in Africa to just over 247GW at the end of September 2024.
In this clip from our recent webinar, African Energy's Head of Data Ajay Ubhi outlines some of the main findings.
The full presentation includes a look at what could still be commissioned in the last quarter of 2024 plus the pipeline for grid-connected projects with announced expected commissioning dates between 2025 and 2029, including battery energy storage projects.
