East Africa's energy story is one of rapid evolution and vast potential. Hydropower remains a cornerstone, but nations are diversifying with geothermal (leading the continent in its utilization), solar, and wind energy. Island nations like Mauritius and Seychelles are pioneering ocean thermal energy conversion and innovative solar solutions. While challenges persist in grid infrastructure and accessibility, East Africa's commitment to sustainable energy is driving economic growth and regional cooperation. This dynamic region is poised to become a leader in renewable energy, illuminating a bright path for Africa's energy future.
