Africa’s energy transition presents a significant opportunity to expand electricity access, stimulate industrial growth and attract private capital, provided that investment frameworks, grid infrastructure and policy certainty evolve to support long-term deployment, highlights Boston Consulting Group MD and partner Kesh Mudaly.
