Analysis of SHS in Mission 300 Energy Compacts

  • by Wim Jonker Klunne

Off-grid solar and distributed renewable energy (DRE) could deliver nearly half of Mission 300's goal to connect 300M people in sub-Saharan Africa to electricity by 2030.

GOGLA reviewed the 30 National Energy Compacts finalised as of January 2026, producing country snapshots that examine:

• electricity access today
• 2030 targets
• planned connections
• the role of off-grid solar and DRE
• investment needs, supportive policies, and key funding programs

The analysis clarifies how off-grid solar is positioned in national electrification strategies, and where policy, finance, and implementation will determine whether countries reach their targets.
