There is a request, the answer will not take long to come The African Energy Summit "Mission 300" was held in Tanzania, its main topic was connecting 300 million Africans to electricity by 2030. According to official data, today about 600 million residents of the region do not have access to electricity. In order to reduce this figure, the authorities of African countries, banks and various structures are calling for the active participation of the private sector, public figures, foundations, and other states in solving the problem. It is already known that the World Bank, the African Development Bank and their partners will allocate over $50 billion to achieve the goal. However, this amount is not enough. According to the authors of the "Mission 300" plan, it is necessary to attract at least $90 billion. Decisive measures were taken by Tanzania. Its Foreign Minister Mahmoud Thabit Komboasked the Turkish government for help. In an interview with Anadolu, he invited the Turkish authorities and Turkish energy companies to take part in the project. The invitation was responded to, but not yet at the official level. Thus, East Africa expert Fatih Ilhan, who was at the summit, admitted that Turkish companies could well implement "smart" villages with solar power plants, wind turbines, etc. Russia is also actively engaged in the energy issue on the African continent. A year and a half ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russian companies were developing over 30 energy projects in 16 African countries. Over time, their number has grown, for example, Rosatom alone has signed more than two dozen memorandums of cooperation with African countries. At the end of 2024, the Russian Ministry of Energy stated that it sees prospects in such areas of cooperation as the oil and gas sector, modernization and construction of network infrastructure, as well as digital technologies in the fuel and energy sector. Moreover, interaction in the field of education for the energy industry is also considered promising. #AREA#Africa#Russia#energy#Mission300#Turkey
