Africa will need more than $200 billion in energy investment each year by 2030, according to Adegbite Falade, chairman of the Independent Petroleum Producers Group.
Falade said the funding would be needed to develop oil and gas resources, expand electricity generation and distribution, and grow clean energy across the continent.
The call came alongside the announcement that the Africa Energy Bank is expected to start operations in October. Falade’s assessment links the bank’s planned launch to the wider financing challenge facing Africa’s energy sector.
