On January 27-28, 2025, African Heads of State will come together with private sector leaders, development partners, and civil society for the Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit, where they will join forces to expand electricity access across the continent and outline concrete steps toward transforming the region’s energy sector. Hosted by the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania, the African Union, the African Development Bank Group, and the World Bank Group, the Summit will highlight the urgent need for reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy to drive economic growth and unlock development across the continent. Several countries will unveil National Energy Compacts, outlining ambitious targets and key reforms tailored to their unique contexts.

Why Mission 300 matters ?

Almost 600 million Africans currently lack access to electricity, representing about half of the region’s population and 83% of the global electricity access deficit. To close the gap and help communities all over Africa build better lives, the World Bank Group and the African Development Bank Group, together with partners, have embarked on a mission to expand electricity access to 300 million people throughout the continent by 2030.
Known as Mission 300, this ambitious initiative will combine increased infrastructure investments and comprehensive policy reforms across the entire electricity supply chain. The commitments and measures announced during the Summit will help secure political buy-in at the highest level, crowd in private sector financing and additional resources for energy access, and fast-track critical policy measures that are essential to reaching the ambitious goals of Mission 300.

A critical milestone

The Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit represents a pivotal moment in our collective journey toward achieving universal energy access. This Summit is not just a gathering of leaders; it is a critical platform for collaboration and commitment, where we will unite our efforts to confront one of Africa’s most pressing challenges— access to energy.
