Africa has a potential for renewable energy generation yet it is the continent most affected by energy poverty, with 40% of population lacking access to electricity. DEVE is starting off a debate in view of the own-initiative report on this issue as informed by Tomas Tobé, Chair of the Committee, in the latest issue of the Monthly Highlights.
He presents the outcome of the recent workshop which focused on the EU's efforts to reduce Africa's energy poverty and ensuring universal access to energy by 2030.
