Dr Kevin Kariuki, vice-president for power, energy, climate and green growth at the African Development Bank (AfDB), talks to African Review about supporting the energy transition in Africa 

In an exclusive interview, Kariuki touched upon the constrains holding back Africa’s power sector development; how significant the role of renewable energy will be in expanding universal access to electricity; how can the private sector boost power coverage; and more. 

“Africa’s vast untapped energy resources, coupled with the urgent need to provide electricity access to hundreds of millions of Africans, constitute an investment market worth billions of dollars,” Kariuki remarked.
