| Abstract | ||||
| In an era marked by environmental consciousness and energy sustainability, Africa faces a pivotal juncture in its energy landscape. This research offers a comprehensive examination of Africa's current energy situation, encompassing vital aspects such as energy access, infrastructure development, and policy frameworks. While significant strides have been made in electrifying the continent over the past two decades, millions still lack reliable access to electricity. Moreover, the reliance on traditional, polluting fuels for cooking and heating continues to pose severe health and environmental risks. Infrastructure development remains a linchpin in addressing these issues, and Africa boasts abundant renewable energy resources, particularly solar and wind power, to usher in a clean energy era. This research underscores the vital role of supportive policies and regulations in shaping Africa's energy transition. Beyond environmental advantages, the study elucidates the health benefits of transitioning to clean energy sources, marked by reduced air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore | ||||
