商品描述

This book offers a critical and comprehensive analysis of Africa's electrification journey. In 2024, the World Bank, African Development Bank, and their partners launched Mission 300, a bold initiative to connect 300 million Africans to electricity by 2030. Yet, this is not the continent's first electrification promise. From Lighting Africa to Power Africa, the past two decades have seen a proliferation of well-intentioned programs--yet the number of Africans without electricity has stubbornly remained around 600 million.

This book interrogates the gap between ambition and achievement, exploring the political, economic, and social dynamics that shape electricity access. Drawing on case studies from Kenya, Ghana, and beyond, it examines the role of development partners, private sector actors, and national governments in expanding access.

Key themes include:

    The energy trilemma: balancing security, affordability, and sustainability. The politics of regulation, subsidies, and cost recovery. The impact of gender, culture, and tradition on energy access. The promise and limits of off-grid and cross-border solutions. The importance of data, measurement, and coordination.

This book is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand--and transform--the future of energy in Africa.

本書對非洲電氣化的歷程進行了批判性和全面的分析。在2024年,世界銀行、非洲開發銀行及其合作夥伴啟動了Mission 300,這是一項大膽的倡議,旨在到2030年為3億非洲人接通電力。然而,這並不是該大陸第一次提出電氣化的承諾。從Lighting AfricaPower Africa,過去二十年出現了許多良好意圖的計劃,但沒有電力的非洲人數量仍然固執地保持在約6億。

本書探討了雄心與成就之間的差距,研究了塑造電力獲取的政治、經濟和社會動態。通過來自肯尼亞、加納及其他地區的案例研究,分析了發展夥伴、私營部門參與者和國家政府在擴大電力獲取中的角色。

主要主題包括:
1. 能源三重困境:平衡安全性、可負擔性和可持續性。
2. 監管、補貼和成本回收的政治。
3. 性別、文化和傳統對能源獲取的影響。
4. 離網和跨境解決方案的承諾與限制。
5. 數據、測量和協調的重要性。

本書是學者、政策制定者和實踐者理解並改變非洲能源未來的必讀書籍。
