Energy access is one of the biggest barriers to ending extreme poverty. Without reliable power, children can’t study at night, hospitals struggle to provide care, and businesses can’t grow. In Africa, hundreds of millions of people are still locked out of these opportunities simply because they don’t have electricity.
Renewable energy is the key to changing this. Solar and wind projects can be deployed quickly, reach rural communities, and provide affordable, sustainable power for generations to come. By helping to scale up these solutions, companies can play a transformative role in powering homes, schools, and health centers across the continent.
The Scaling Up Renewables in Africa campaign is calling for clean energy to reach one million homes. With businesses stepping up alongside governments and philanthropies, we can accelerate progress toward a fairer, more sustainable future.
