Africa faces considerable challenges in ensuring access to clean, sustainable, and reliable energy. Accurate and comprehensive energy statistics are indispensable
to overcoming these challenges and to fostering sustainable economic and social development. The African Energy Commission (AFREC) has established a robust foundation for enhancing energy data, in collaboration with its Member States.
We are pleased to present the 2025 edition of AFREC’s ‘Key Africa Energy Statistics’ (KAES) report, prepared with the active collaboration of African Union Member States. The data included were jointly collected from AU Member States and validated to ensure reliable and credible information for decision makers.
We are pleased to present the 2025 Energy Balance for African Countries, offering a comprehensive analysis of energy production, transformation, and consumption across the continent. This publication represents a key milestone, illuminating both the opportunities and the challenges facing Africa’s energy sector, and reaffirming our commitment to transparent, inclusive, and sustainable energy governance. Energy is a fundamental pillar of development. It is essential for economic growth, improved living conditions, and social transformation.

A summary of major energy data and trends across Africa
This report highlights several remarkable elements from the updated African Energy Information System (AEIS). Firstly, it underscores the remarkable performance of solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources in Africa's electricity production. Compared to the data from the year 2000, we observe a significant increase in the share of these renewable energy sources in the continent's energy mix. This trend demonstrates Africa's growing commitment to energy transition and the promotion of clean and sustainable energy
