Ember finds Africa installed 12 GW of solar in 2025, twice the IEA's figure. The Global Solar Council independently found the same blind spot. ETA analyses both reports.
How does African cross-border electricity trade work? ETA explains power pools, bilateral contracts, day-ahead markets, wheeling and regional grids.
Climate finance is becoming a contest for batteries, minerals, exports and industry. Morocco, South Africa, Egypt and Nigeria show what is at stake.
Africa is mobilising energy finance and technology, but who will deliver it? ETA's FEC 2026 in Accra panel examined the workforce and institutional capability gap behind the continent's energy ambitions.
Africa's critical minerals reforms are attracting capital fast. Nigeria, Zambia, the DRC, Botswana and Zimbabwe show why investment alone won't decide whether that wealth builds lasting development.
Nigeria wants EVs to reach 60% of its fleet by 2050, but its grid supplies about 4,000 MW. ETA examines what the charging arithmetic really means.
Women increasingly appear in Africa's energy policies, but major gaps remain in workforce, finance, and outcome measurement. ETA examines the latest data.
Zambia produced 890,346 tonnes of copper in 2025. ETA examines whether smelting, power and manufacturing can turn rising output into lasting value.
Fifteen professionals from eight countries have begun the ETA Fellows Programme, an eleven-week initiative focused on analysis and institutional capability.
Africa commissions megawatts and counts connections. It rarely measures whether the people to sustain what it builds are being developed at the same pace. Vincent Egoro on the human infrastructure gap that determines whether Africa's energy investments last thirty years or ten.
Africa's AI data centre build-out is converging on natural gas, not solar. A 20 MW facility in Nigeria needs a 100 MW gas plant. Kenya's geothermal grid shows the alternative. ETA on who bears the stranded-asset risk if the global AI capex cycle turns.
Only 2 of 54 African countries hold investment-grade ratings. Country risk explains the 56% variation in renewable energy financing costs. Bloomberg put $285m behind institutional capacity, not solar farms. Vincent Egoro on what the bet means, and the question it still hasn't answered.
