Twelve African countries presented their National Energy Compacts at the Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit. Each country identifies specific policy measures to address constraints across the energy sector in its National Energy Compact and sets its own targets based on its unique context. The National Compacts are fully led and developed by the governments. Countries are encouraged to hold public consultations with civil society and other relevant stakeholders to inform the development of the Compacts.
The National Energy Compacts set ambitious targets with timelines for implementation to: 1) expand energy infrastructure at competitive costs, 2) leverage the benefits of regional power integration, 3) embrace distributed renewable energy and clean cooking solutions as critical elements of the access agenda, 4) foster greater private sector participation to unlock additional resources, and 5) strengthen utilities.
