Despite a large and rapidly growing population, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects electricity consumption in Africa to remain a relatively small share of global totals through 2050.[] Relatively low consumption, in part, results from the limited reach of central grid power in rural areas and the unreliability
