In Africa alone, 600 million people do not have access to electricity or other forms of energy. What are the immediate measures that must be taken to close this energy access gap?

Leila Benali, Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development of Morocco, lays out the type of investment measures required to tackle this crisis within the context of a broader energy transition.


The Future of Energy is a six-episode series that profiles leading thinkers on the global energy transition. Each episode explores topics such as industrial decarbonization, electrification, closing the energy access gap, energy security, and frontier technologies.
