Africa Energy Efficiency Facility to tackle energy inefficiency
Story 1
The Africa Energy Efficiency Facility, a legacy project of South Africa’s G20 presidency, aims to raise $3-billion to tackle energy inefficiencies in Africa.
This according to Electricity and Energy Deputy Minister, Samantha Graham-Maré, who spoke at the legacy launch of the AfEEF in Durban, held ahead of the G20 Energy Transitions Working Group meetings.
The AfEEF is a collaboration initiative between the department, the African Union Commission through the African Energy Commission, and the United Nations Environment Programme.
Graham-Maré noted that energy inefficiencies in Africa have reached levels of up to 60% in some areas – leaving millions of people completely without access to electricity and others without clean cooking solutions.
