Energy intelligence
Power is the input every other sector waits on. AfCEN follows generation, transmission and distribution projects from concept to operation, and the markets and policies that decide whether they get built.
What AfCEN tracks
- Utility-scale generation: hydro, solar, wind, geothermal and gas
- Transmission lines, interconnectors and regional power pools
- Mini-grids, off-grid solar and electrification programmes
- Tariffs, power purchase terms and sector reform
- Development-finance commitments and financing gaps per project
