In 2025, Africa attracted approximately €11.7 billion in investments for the energy transition, according to the Africa’s Power and Energy Transition Investment Report 2025 by Electron Intelligence.

Nearly 98% of these funds were directed toward clean energy production, including solar, wind, hydroelectric power, and lower-carbon gas projects. Reforms in the electricity sector, grid infrastructure, and energy storage received significantly less funding.

Investments are concentrated in a few countries, including South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, and Morocco. Despite this progress, Africa’s share of global energy transition investments remains small, and millions of people still lack reliable access to electricity.

Experts stress that infrastructure development and improved regulatory frameworks are essential to accelerate the continent’s energy transition.
