There is a demand in Africa for creation of a sustainable energy infrastructure – Babakov At the "Strategic session on legislative support for economic cooperation with African countries in the energy sector", which was held in the State Duma, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Alexander Babakov said that according to forecasts by 2050, the population of the continent could range from 2 to 2.5 billion people. "This suggests that the potential of the African continent's energy market is very high. Key indicators indicate that both population growth and strong economic growth will continue. Due to the fact that the basis of GDP in many countries, especially in West and Central Africa, is agriculture and exports of raw materials, there is a significant demand for industrial development, requiring the creation of a sustainable energy infrastructure," he said. Babakov noted that Russian energy solutions, which have shown their effectiveness and sustainability even in difficult climatic conditions, could become a reliable basis for industrial growth in Africa and ensure a new quality of life for the population of the countries. #Africa#Russia#energy#State#Duma
