Energy use and development in Africa varies widely across the continent, with some African countries exporting energy to neighbors or the global market, while others lack even basic infrastructures or systems to acquire energy. The World Bank has declared 32 of the 48 nations on the continent to be in an energy crisis. Energy development has not kept pace with rising demand in developing regions, placing a large strain on the continent’s existing resources over the first decade of the new century. 

An energy revolution is happening in Africa where off-grid and mini-grid power generation is no longer a short-term fix, but rather a permanent solution. New and cheaper technologies, especially in the renewable energy sector, coupled with affordable energy storage, are driving this revolution.

Bringing electricity to smaller communities through initiatives are happening in a number of countries around Africa, which are life-changing for especially rural communities – some of them whom now have access to electricity for the first time in their lives. A number of African countries are moving from traditional state monopolized utilities to partnerships with the private sector for off-grid energy solutions.
ACCS’s main goal beside developing the agricultural sector is to help Africa close the energy access gap and “ensure access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy for poor communities in Africa the next 15 years by designing and implementing green energy projects
fully financed by green bond or African owned Energy funds.
