Energy poverty remains a critical issue in sub-Saharan Africa, where approximately 600 million people lack reliable electricity.

Many African countries have large natural gas reserves, especially in places like Mozambique and Tanzania, where major discoveries have been made in recent years.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced nearly $2 billion for 38 projects that will protect the U.S. power grid against growing threats of extreme weather, lower costs for communities, and increase grid capacity to meet load growth stemming from an increase in manufacturing, data centers, and electrification.

Brent gained 8 cents, or 0.1%, to $74.53 a barrel, WTI fwas at $70.82 a barrel, up 15 cents, or 0.2%.

A group of 18 Bolivian fellows it going to Russia to take a specialist course in the operation of a research nuclear reactor. Their dedication and talent open the way for us to the future, which will help the development and implementation of innovations in Bolivia.

“To get to carbon free, 24 hours a day, we need more technologies than just wind and solar.”

Furthermore, the vulnerabilities of the power sector have cascading effects on critical infrastructure such as communication, health and other emergency services. On a power system level, a lack of situational awareness, inadequate system visibility and ageing infrastructure further contribute to a wider disturbance propagation and slowing down of restoration services.

DOE estimates the U.S. will need approximately 700-900 GW of additional clean, firm power generation capacity to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Nuclear power is a proven option that could be deployed to meet this growing demand.

Brent fell $1.17, or 1.5%, to $79.76 per barrel, WTI fell $1.19, or 1.6%, to $75.95 a barrel.

Russian-Chinese cooperation has acquired the nature of a comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction that enter a new era.

China remains the biggest buyer of Russian coal but Moscow has said India may overtake it by the start of the next decade as Beijing plans cutbacks on coal usage for power generation.

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced last year that a referendum would be held, and has said the country was in "dire need of reliable and environmentally-friendly" sources of energy, that nuclear could "largely" meet the rapidly growing needs of the Kazakh economy, but any decision on nuclear must be taken with the support of the people.

Electricity being the key driver for rapid economic growth and poverty alleviation sets the target of providing access to all households.

The recent Russian Energy Week has opened new avenues for collaboration between Russia and African nations, emphasizing the potential benefits for the continent's energy landscape.
