Roland Berger Strategy Consultants Rapid progress is possible: Within 20 years, despite strong population growth, East Asia was able to reduce the number of people without electricity by 500 million. f14 Number of people (actual and projected) without electricity for the period 1970-2030, by region under current policies Source: The World Bank SSA East Asia/China Middle East Latin America North America South Asia (million) 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 0 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030
Study 35 Outlook Roland Berger believes that the time has come for governments and industries to recognize the importance of the energy sector and work to modernize it. African leaders and governments must realize the urgency of addressing energy needs to meet their own development goals. Government support is especially crucial in the energy industry, as the quality of regulation has a direct impact on how well the sector performs. Streamlining approval processes, ensuring wiring safety, providing transparency on costs and setting performance requirements are just some of the steps that Sub-Saharan African governments must take to bring the industry up to par with other nations 56 . If policy, regulatory and governance issues are addressed and legal safeguards put in place, private investment flows will augment public funding. International players from development agencies to investors are waiting to play a major role in reforming Africa's energy sector. Indeed, aid agencies can achieve many of their goals, ranging from improving education and healthcare to promoting higher standards of living, through solving energy problems. Energy can truly empower Africa and the lives of its people. Investors can reap major returns while helping Africa meet its energy needs by putting money into both conventional and renewable energies. Infrastructure improvements, oil and gas exploration and the use of these resources to generate electricity in Africa can offer unprecedented rewards and solve the continent's immediate energy needs. Meanwhile investments in technologies translate into more accessible and affordable energy in Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa is at a stage where reforming the energy sector is crucial to enable further development. Promising signs of progress are evident throughout Africa, opening up a vast new field of opportunities for engineering and construction firms, equipment manufacturers, financiers and utilities. Through combined efforts of all major players, energy poverty will become a part of Sub- Saharan Africa's past, allowing countries in the region to reach their full growth potential. 56) International Finance Corporation: Doing Business 2012
