Annual Report
Africa’s Power and Energy Transition Investment Report 2025
Electron Intelligence tracked $13.84 billion of disclosed investment activity across 306 deals in 43 African countries in 2025. The report shows that bankability beat pipeline size, with capital concentrating in transactions where offtake, risk allocation, and execution readiness were clearer, and where recurring platform and program structures reduced delivery risk.
Monthly Report
Africa's Clean Energy Investment Updates, Nov 2025
The report shows energy transition is shifting from “build more generation” to “make the system investable,” with capital increasingly concentrated on governance reforms, grid infrastructure, and large-scale structured financings. We analyzed $2.42B aggregate investments across 50 deals in 17 African countries.
