The paradox of overcapacity in African energy sectors

Publikation: Artikler: Tidsskrift og avis › Tidsskriftartikel › Forskning › peer review

Abstract

Several African countries experience an overcapacity of energy supply that cannot be explained by supply volatility alone. At the same time, these countries struggle to provide access to electricity for their populations. A new DIIS paper explores this paradox.
