The reforms have indeed borne fruit, with close to $2 billion of private investment in the renewable energy sector alone being currently realized on the ground. Unlike the North Africa region, not all of Sub-Saharan Africa has access to modern energy sources, where Egypt can play a major role to help. There is no question that these amounts are too large for public investment alone; private investment in Africa’s energy sector is therefore a must. However, since Africa is building its energy sector almost afresh, there is a great potential to maximize the use of green and clean energy sources that the continent is already endowed with in various forms. In those areas, the availability of modern mobile technologies is a prerequisite for the adoption of modern energy solutions.
