    Africa: Infrastructure hurdles limit pace of broadening energy access (Ep. 227)

    Africa is often discussed as a single entity, but the energy profiles differ widely between North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa as well as within the 54 countries that define those regions. Much of North Africa, for example, enjoys universal access to electricity while 50% of the Sub-Saharan African population outside of South Africa does not. S&P Global Energy Experts Silvia Macri and Anastasia Pantazopoulou join hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to discuss the challenges and opportunities for a resource abundant continent to address energy poverty in many of its less developed countries.
