Energy Transition
Driving Africa-Led, People-Centred Energy Transitions
The Problem
Africa’s energy future hangs in the balance.
While global efforts to decarbonize accelerate, millions across the continent still lack access to reliable energy.
For Kenya, the challenge is managing this shift responsibly — aligning with climate goals while ensuring energy security, economic opportunity, and social justice. Without African-led solutions, the transition risks becoming inequitable and externally dictated.

What We’re Doing About It

Generating Evidence and Insights
EGP conducts research linking lessons from the extractives sector to emerging renewable pathways — providing evidence for inclusive, sustainable energy systems.

Building a Continental Voice
We foster cross-country learning across Africa, connecting regional actors to share good practices and strengthen collective influence in global energy forums.
