Tanzania Summit Charts Path for African Energy Access.
Tanzania hosted a major energy summit last week aimed at bringing power to 300 million Africans by 2030. The two-day event in Dar es Salaam drew 25 African presidents, dozens of business leaders, and over 1,500 delegates.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan thanked attendees on social media after the January 27-28 gathering. She praised the summit's focus on affordable, clean energy across Africa.
"The summit provided us with a platform to deliberate on accelerating access to sustainable energy," Hassan posted on X.
The meeting produced the Dar es Salaam Declaration, a plan to expand electricity access through partnerships between African nations, development groups, and private companies.
Current statistics show that 600 million Africans lack electricity, and another billion people use unsafe cooking methods. The declaration aims to address these challenges through clean energy solutions.
"This declaration will shape Africa's energy landscape through 2030," Hassan said. She expressed confidence in the plan's ability to boost economic growth.
The conference attracted 40 leaders from international organizations and 25 energy industry billionaires. Hassan closed her message with "Karibuni tena Tanzania" - welcome back to Tanzania.
