It is estimated that 64 per cent of Africa’s population—equivalent to about more than 500 million people have no access to electricity. These figures mask huge differences between the various African countries. None of the sub Saharan African countries have electricity rates that exceed 50 per cent, and in about half of the African countries, the electrification rate is under 25 per cent. In more than 10 countries, less than 10 per cent have access to electricity. While 52 per cent of the population in SSA in urban areas have access, the rate is as low as 8 per cent in rural areas. This represents an opportunity for Indian EPC companies.
