Percentage of population with electricity in the EAC

[Arkan]

Very surprising.

 

[lahaine]

Kenya is doing really good 76% is very high. Somalia too considering we're in a civil war almost 50 is not bad

 

[Pastoralist]

World bank projects scheduled with the debt relief will get us closer to 60-70% if funds are used correctly

 

[Keep it a boqol]

Next step is a energy grid for cheaper power and we’ll be on our way to decent development inshalllah

I also hope for somalia to have a PR change and be a showcase of african civil war recovery just like Rwanda is currently.

Burundi surprised me

 

[Removed]

Where would we be If the kacaan never messed with the free market and never introduced fake socialism.

 

[mohammdov]

There is a big difference in population

Burundi surprised me

Burundi apparently has no coal, natural gas, or petroleum.

I say send them some Somali businessmen to establish electricity companies and utilise some cheap, and low quality diesel generators . With a population of around 12 million, it's a quick money scheme. Takeover the imported energy they have with the urbanized population first.

 

[Pastoralist]

I feel for Congo and Burundi

There is a big difference in population

Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan have a lower population than Somalia.

Rwanda has almost 15milion hence close

It has more to do with the urbanisation rate. Somalia is the most urbanised country in East Africa by percentage of population. A 100MW power plant would have a more immediate impact on the average Somali than the average East African.

This is why the next 5 to 10 years will be interesting as we finally see major energy projects being built in Somalia. I could see us surpass Kenya soon. Somalia is already estimated to reach 75% in 2027.

Somalia is also well placed for energy export since two have an over abundance of solar and wind with just a few battery storage facility we gave some energy security whilst being to export the rest to our neighbours.

Tfr not real i think u need to visit cities and see people stil have large families

 

[Dalac Bilaash]

Everyone didn't expect this but thanks to our private sector who achieved immense achievement and worked through hard conditions to provide electricity to every single house this gives me hope that we still have chance to come out top.
