Hydropower plays a key role in all of the African Development Bank’s (AfDB’s) High Five priority areas that are intended to support the continent’s achievement of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. This is according to AfDB power systems development director Batchi Baldeh, who took part in a live discussion presented by the Africa Energy Forum on ‘Overcoming Development and Environmental challenges to unlock Hydropower’s Potential in Africa’, which together with African Utility Week & POWERGEN Africa, forms part of the current Digital Energy Festival for Africa.
