Universal access to electricity is a vital step towards ending poverty across Africa

Humphrey Wireko, Associate Principal at CrossBoundary Energy Access speaks to CGTN on bridging the electrification gap across Africa where over 600 million people still don’t have access to electricity. The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that mini-grids will be the least cost method to connect over 260 million people by 2030. Mr. Tilleard shares more on how mini-grids that serve households and businesses can bridge the electrification gap. He highlights the role of governments in encouraging the success of mini-grids in Africa and shares CrossBoundary’s plan to encourage project finance for infrastructure development in Africa.
