☀️ Énergies renouvelables en Afrique : comment passer du potentiel à l’échelle ?
Le potentiel est immense : ☀️ solaire, 🌬️ éolien, 💧 hydroélectricité, 🔋 stockage, ⚡ mini-réseaux et solutions hors réseau.
Mais le véritable défi est désormais de passer à l’échelle.
Pour y parvenir, trois enjeux sont essentiels :
💰 Financement
🛡️ Réduction des risques
🔌 Réseaux

🌍 Lors de l’Akili Energy Investment Forum 2026, les acteurs du secteur échangeront sur les solutions concrètes pour accélérer le financement et l’exécution des projets renouvelables africains.
Produire plus d’énergie ne suffit pas. Il faut pouvoir la financer, la transporter, la stocker et la valoriser.

🛢️ Les hydrocarbures ont-ils encore un avenir en Afrique ?

La question mérite d’être posée sérieusement. 🌍
Pétrole et gaz peuvent encore jouer un rôle majeur dans la sécurité énergétique, l’industrialisation, la production électrique et la création de valeur locale.

Lors de l’Akili Energy Investment Forum 2026, une session dédiée explorera trois enjeux clés :
🛢️ Risques
💰 Rendements
⚖️ Arbitrages stratégiques

🎯 L’objectif : comprendre comment mieux valoriser les ressources africaines, structurer les projets et orienter les capitaux vers des infrastructures à impact durable.

Financing and M&A Trends in Africa’s Oil & Gas Sector | February 2026 Market

Africa’s oil and gas sector continues to attract significant capital despite a global shift toward energy transition.

Recent transactions across Ghana, Angola, Kenya, Senegal, and Equatorial Guinea demonstrate a clear evolution in financing structures, investor profiles, and strategic positioning by both national oil companies (NOCs) and independent operators.

In February 2026 alone, $3.49 billion in capital was mobilized across financing and M&A transactions, highlighting strong investor confidence in African hydrocarbon assets.

Financing activity dominated capital flows, accounting for 83% of total capital deployed ($2.879 billion), while M&A and asset acquisitions represented $609.5 million.

The key takeaway: African upstream and midstream assets remain attractive, but deal structures are shifting away from traditional project finance toward equity markets, balance-sheet financing, and commodity-linked funding structures.

Electrification in Africa: Over €1 Billion to Accelerate Access to Electricity

Access to reliable electricity remains a major challenge across Sub-Saharan Africa, where nearly 600 million people still live without power.

A new €1 billion investment from the European Investment Bank (EIB) will support energy projects aimed at accelerating electrification and helping bring electricity to 300 million people. This initiative is part of a broader effort led by the World Bank and the African Development Bank to close the continent’s electricity access gap.

Why does this matter?

🔹 Energy access drives development
Electricity supports economic growth, healthcare, education, and digital connectivity.

🔹 Supporting the energy transition
Investments will also promote cleaner and more resilient energy systems, including renewable energy and decentralized solutions.

🔹 Unlocking economic potential
Reliable electricity empowers businesses, strengthens local economies, and creates jobs.

While challenges remain, this investment marks an important step toward expanding energy access and supporting sustainable development across Africa.

🌍 Africa Renewable PPA Market – February 2026 Snapshot

February 2026 confirms a structural shift in Africa’s renewable energy market.

≈903 MW of renewable capacity was contracted during the month — not record-breaking in size, but highly significant in structure.

⚡ The key shift:
Africa’s PPA market is moving from policy-driven procurement to corporate-driven demand.

Unlike February 2025 — which was dominated by utility-backed, long-tenor wind projects — February 2026 transactions were led almost entirely by private offtakers, particularly mining companies and energy traders.

⛏️ Mining as anchor demand
Mining companies are accelerating renewable procurement to secure energy costs and protect export competitiveness in a carbon-constrained global market. Renewable PPAs are now strategic industrial tools, not just ESG commitments.

📍 Southern Africa at the forefront
Market liberalisation — particularly in South Africa — continues to position the region as Africa’s private power market laboratory.

Nigeria’s Electricity Sector Under Pressure: Access Gaps, Fuel Shortages and Mounting Debt

Nigeria — Africa’s most populous country — is once again confronting the structural weaknesses of its electricity system.

Recent sector data paints a clear picture: the challenge is no longer only building power plants, but ensuring they can actually operate, be paid for, and deliver reliable electricity to consumers.

Three numbers summarize the situation:

⚡ Only 43% of the gas fuel required by power plants is currently being supplied.
🔌 National electricity generation has fallen to about 4,300 MW — for over 200 million people.
💰 The sector is carrying roughly $4.4 billion in debt.

What does this mean in practice?
• Frequent load shedding and outages

• Higher operating costs and rising inflation

The issue is not simply a lack of power plants — it’s a market and payment chain problem.

When tariffs don’t cover real costs, distribution companies struggle to collect revenue, generators remain unpaid, gas suppliers reduce deliveries… and electricity production drops.

Nigeria’s power sector faces serious challenges as gas supply shortages cut electricity generation to 4,300 MW and sector debt reaches $4.4 billion.
