African poverty is partly a consequence of energy poverty. In every other continent the vast majority of people have access to electricity. In Africa 600m people, 43% of the total, cannot readily light their homes or charge their phones. And those who nominally have grid electricity find it as reliable as a Scottish summer. More than three-quarters of African firms experience outages; two-fifths say electricity is the main constraint on their business.

If other sub-Saharan African countries had enjoyed power as reliable as South Africa’s from 1995 to 2007, then the continent’s rate of real GDP growth per person would have been two percentage points higher, more than doubling the actual rate, according to one academic paper. Since then South Africa has also had erratic electricity. So-called “load-shedding” is probably the main reason why the economy has shrunk in four of the past eight quarters.

Solar power is increasingly seen as the solution. Last year Africa installed a record amount of photovoltaic (PV) capacity (though this still made up just 1% of the total added worldwide), notes the African Solar Industry Association (AFSIA), a trade group. Globally most solar PV is built by utilities, but in Africa 65% of new capacity over the past two years has come from large firms contracting directly with developers. These deals are part of a decentralised revolution that could be of huge benefit to African economies.

Ground zero for the revolution is South Africa. Last year saw a record number of blackouts imposed by Eskom, the state-run utility, whose dysfunctional coal-fired power stations regularly break down or operate at far below capacity. Fortunately, as load-shedding was peaking, the costs of solar systems were plummeting.

Between 2019 and 2023 the cost of panels fell by 15%, having already declined by almost 90% in the 2010s. Meanwhile battery storage systems now cost about half as much as five years ago. Industrial users pay 20-40% less per unit when buying electricity from private project developers than on the cheapest Eskom tariff.

In the past two calendar years the amount of solar capacity in South Africa rose from 2.8GW to 7.8GW, notes AFSIA, excluding that installed on the roofs of suburban homes. All together South Africa’s solar capacity could now be almost a fifth of that of Eskom’s coal-fired power stations (albeit those still have a higher “capacity factor”, or ability to produce electricity around the clock). The growth of solar is a key reason why there has been less load-shedding in 2024...

Over the past decade the number of startups providing “distributed renewable energy” (DRE) has grown at a clip. Industry estimates suggest that more than 400m Africans get electricity from solar home systems and that more than ten times as many “mini-grids”, most of which use solar, were built in 2016-20 than in the preceding five years. In Kenya DRE firms employ more than six times as many people as the largest utility. In Nigeria they have created almost as many jobs as the oil and gas industry.

“The future is an extremely distributed system to an extent that people haven’t fully grasped,” argues Matthew Tilleard of CrossBoundary Group, a firm whose customers range from large businesses to hitherto unconnected consumers. “It’s going to happen here in Africa first and most consequentially.”

Ignite, which operates in nine African countries, has products that include a basic panel that powers three light bulbs and a phone charger, as well as solar-powered irrigation pumps, stoves and internet routers, and industrial systems. Customers use mobile money to “unlock” a pay-as-you-go meter.

Yariv Cohen, Ignite’s CEO, reckons that the typical $3 per month spent by consumers is less than what they previously paid for kerosene and at phone-charging kiosks. He describes how farmers are more productive because they do not have to get home before dark and children are getting better test scores because they study under bulbs. One family in Rwanda used to keep their two cows in their house because they feared rustlers might come in the dark; now the cattle snooze al fresco under an outside lamp and the family gets more sleep.

...That is one eye-catching aspect of Africa’s solar revolution. But most of the continent is undergoing a more subtle—and significant—experiment in decentralised, commercially driven solar power. It is a trend that could both transform African economies and offer lessons to the rest of the world."

“We’re the largest small-holder solar irrigation company in Africa. We use financial services and carbon revenues to make the cost of solar irrigation 50% cheaper than diesel and petrol pumps,” said Samir Ibrahim, SunCulture’s chief executive officer. “Irrigation is just like old very unsexy technology but it could increase your yields by up to five times.”

The company supplies small solar powered water pumps, the cost of which is subsidized by the sale of carbon credits, to small-scale farmers, allowing them to replace diesel-powered pumps in some cases and boost yields in fields that weren’t previously irrigated. 

SunCulture operates in Kenya, Uganda and Ivory Coast and has distribution agreements in Ethiopia, Zambia and Togo. 

“SunCulture helps farmers grow more food, which is exactly the kind of business that prospers,” Hastings said in comments supplied by the irrigation company.

✨Eclips Season Breakdown ✨

Hello lovelies, we've entered eclips season where we will expeirnece both a Solar Eclips in Libra on October 14th, and then on October the 28th we will experience a Lunar Eclips in Taurus. Depending on your placements and how you interact with the transit, the eclipses effects can present themsleves weeks to months in advance, as well as after its passing (usually up to 6month) What should we ecpect? With both Taurus and Libra being ruled by venus, as well, we can expect venusuain, 2nd house and 7th house activities. This means topics surrounding our money/finances, stability, comfort, socializing/groups, relations, luxury and pleasures, will be highlighted. With different aspects such as a conjunction to the South node, we can also expect themes such as past lives, baggages and lessons (or unfinished lessons) being big themes for some.

How will this affect us as a collective? Numerous of things can be expected, so here are some most likly predictions;

Increse in prices, globally. This could for exampe be more costly public transport, as that affects our relationship with the public.

A lot of crypto currency and online markets may have a boom or fall, depending on where you find yourself. For those who have invested, you may see a large reward, where as there may be some harsh dips before it picks up again due to many pulling out due to fears.

Large companies may find themsleves renegotiating contracts, having unsatified partners or other conflicts that won't see the light of day till everythings either finalized or possibly leaked pre-maturely.

Many world organizations and allienses may be going through re-negotiations, which could have tensions of conflicts, but most will be resolved peacefully while others may worsen. The only example I have of this could be similiar to Kenya pushing for Visa Free Kenya/Africa.

Fertility or sexual scandals may come out, but this may first be within the coming 4-5 months, which may be a big shock to the public. Some of it will force laws to become harsher and lawenforcement to gain more backlash.

Food development may be on a rise with, an example could be, alternative ways of growing food. A fall in import and more demand to rely on self-sufficiancy.

How will it affect us as individuals? Firstly, its important to note that this eclips season is not one I would recomend to manifest. Instead, I suggest releasing and letting go for what no longer serves you to make space for new and better things.

During such seasons, it is adviced to not start anything new, unless you already had plans (5-6 months prior), but listen to your intuition as some of us are menat to begin a new chapter that will require starting something new. For some this new begining may not be a whole new path, but the same with a difference that makes it feel new. An example could be a new job doing the same thing but now it is in a different location (think from remote work to in person or from regular employee to manager)

The solar eclips will bring new beginings in terms of relations (platonic or romantic for some) compromisation/sacrafice, openness and even some emotionalness to it.

So for the solar eclips, nothing overly explosive or life-jerking will offcure, simply big or small changes that will be within what you already know/feel comfortable within. The biggest lesson here is to let go, sacrafice (usually without a struggle( and let the universe do it's things. You may feel paranoid at first, or resistant to the change even if it is quite minor in the begining but it will sort itself out.

For the lunar eclips, the energie is much more noticable as it is the high point as we end chapters. It is high emotions, quite dramatic for some and very explosive for others (think New Years Eve). It is one that will most likly reward us due to its close conjunction to Jupiter - i.e we will be rewarded for what we have been working very hard on. There is growth and very little challange, so we will This is where many of us will experience quality over quantity, and few will ever return. The energy for this is much more selfish and will be a happy ending to something you may have been going through all year. Look to the following month cycle (every 6th month) to see if there was a reoccuring theme; April 2022, October 2022, April/May 2023. Think about what happened during those times and how life is going now to see what will be 'released' for you'.

Below are more specified areas where you may experience more shifts, just look to your Rising, sun or moon to see where you may feel these eclipses the most;

Aries The Solar Eclips will be in your 7th house, which points to themes of partnerships, collaborations and socializing. Some of you may be going through changes such as marriage, divorce or seperation. The energy around your many changes has a karmic energy (neutral), where some of you may meet a soulmate you've already been with or a new soul-connection. Thise mostly affected will have later degree Aries placement (rising, sun, moon). This may also simply indicate meeting someone and your relationship having a more spiritual nature, which will help you in the long run.

Taurus The Solar Eclips will be in your 6th house, which is the house of health and organization. This all points to a shift in how you view your health, how you take care of yourself and how you organize your life. You may find that you have had more health issues then normal or a flareup that has felt too familiary. This will push you to change - this can be eating differently, cutting out habits such as smoking, drug use etc. and wanting to simply change your routine. You may find that this will be easier done alongside someone else, so don't hesitate to get an accountability buddy. For those with 10th degree Taurus placement (rising, sun, moon) you may feel this much stronger after the Lunar eclips, where the release of what no longer serves you will give you great rewards. Oh, and some of you may be getting a new job. You will no longer be somehwere that was sucking your energy and most likly making you sick (physically and mentally).

Gemini The Solar Eclips will be in your 5th house, which will affect your love life. You may have been asked to change your outlook, idea and attitude towards relationships (including platonic relations) in order to get to where you want to be. This could also be habits (dating sights, being too passive, being overly selective or even not being picky enough). Overall, most of what you want will come without much of your intefrenece, but you need a shift of mindset. Release that and better will come replace it.

Cancer The Solar Eclips will be in your 4th house, which is the theme surrounding family and the home. Some of you may be relocating, either moving away from your childhood home, a place you made home or somewhere that no longer feels like home. Some my be reconnecting with a place or people in their lives, while others may have disputes or cutting ties with family or older friends. Your biggest lesson this eclips season is to let go of attemnets to places, people and memories in order to move smoother ahead.

Leo The Solar Eclips will be in your 3rd house, which is your social life, communication and siblings. Some of you may reconnecting with friends you havent spoken with for a whole (not necccesarily because something bad happens) Rekindeling and resuming connections may bring you a lot of clearity, new perspectives and rewards. Some of these relationsh could be closely linked with your past life.

Virgo The Solar Eclips will be in your 2nd house, which is the house of finances and security. Many of you will expericence financial shifts that will follow after the release of control, mentalities and attachments. Stepping out of comfort zones will also reward you greatly. Some may already have expeirnece that letting go of posessions or what no longer serves you (a job, an attitude towards something etc) will make room for even more. This may have been felt already, by some, but will continue for others for up to 12 months.

Libra The Solar Eclips will be in your 1st house, which is the self. This eclips will be felt by all libra placements, but significant for the Libra risings (as well as some sun and moons) a new begining is ahead. You will expeirence many chapter endings and new ones ahead, where you can expect appearence changes, alongside habits and mindset shifts. Imagine a snake shedding it's skin, that is you, and you are entering an era that you've been slowly walking towards. Those who aren't there yet, you will be guided towards it in due time. Remember that there is no start without the space for one, so releasing is crucial. Many may find themsleves feeling this within their social life (so, you may change who you associate yourself with, how you are in public (moving in silence is big)).

Scorpio The Solar Eclips will be in your 12th house, which indicates that many will have revelations and letting go of a lot that doesnt serve them. This can be releasing past traumas, habits, attachments and addictions. This will follow getting more in touch with your intuition, becoming more intuned and delving into spirituality (or continuing where you let of).

Sagottarius The Solar Eclips will be in your 11th house, the house of groups and friendships. Many of you will gain new friendships, make new or deepen connections. A lot of you will also compleate some past life cycles, which will result in compleating or making new long term goals. Those around you will be crucial to this part, especially when it comes to business ventures and other sucesses.

Capricorn The Solar Eclips will be in your 10th house, which is the house of social status, business, image (public) and such. For some of you, you may change your image, shift how others see you or gain a different perspective on others. Others may find themsleves getting promoted or pushed to reach higher hights, whihc could be quitting and finding new oppertunities more alligned. Oters may expeirnece their mentors or those they look up to passing the torch making them the "king/overhead". This is an oppertunity that may feel unexpected for some but a wish-furfilled for others.

Aquarius The Solar Eclips will be in your 9th house, which is all about expansion, philosophy, higher education and more. For many of you, you will gain a better perception on the world and on yourselves. This intales a spiritual awakening(s), persuing education and knowlege. Some of you may have to travel further for this insight, and many may need to 'reprogram' the way you interact and see the world. Some of you may also be going from being the student to becoming the teacher.

Pisces The Solar Eclips will be in your 8th house, which all points to sudden changes with regarding your finances. Some of you may find that your income (specicially the income that came from others, a spouse, family, friends etc) may become spares and replaced, either by your own efforts or by the financial aid of others. This could be do to them being replaced, cords being cut or you taking full ocntrol of your financial stability. Others may find that they are pregnant or will soon be giving birth. This could be to a child but can also be to an idea / project you've been working on. Some may find that a psycological change is happening and you will soon find yourself releasing a lot of traumatic memories and habits. Not all of them belonged to you, but could have beeen generational traumas, or possibly a past life baggage you had to let go of. Lastly, some of you have been doing a lot of work and will find yourself getting into a spiritual awakening, which will reward you greatly in the future as it is making space for what you've been trying to attract.

I hope this was helpful, have a lovely rest of October and stay blessed

In recent years, the partnership between China and Africa has evolved into a key driver of economic growth, particularly in the realm of digital infrastructure. This collaboration has produced significant advancements, particularly in the construction of vital frameworks like fiber optic cables and 5G networks. Over the past decade, Chinese investments have transformed local economies, expanded opportunities in e-commerce, and improved connectivity, thereby enhancing the continent's digital landscape. The significance of this partnership is difficult to overstate. To give context, millions of people across Africa have gained access to high-speed internet due to extensive fiber optic networks. This kind of connectivity has revolutionized the way businesses operate, enabling a sizable increase in online transactions. For example, countries like Kenya and Nigeria have seen burgeoning e-commerce sectors, where local entrepreneurs can sell their goods and services to a global market. One of the main aspects of this partnership lies in the technological support provided by Chinese companies. They have not only invested financially but have also facilitated the transfer of skills and expertise necessary for such ambitious projects. This has created a robust environment for sustainable development, where local populations can partake in a digitally-driven economy. For instance, Chinese firms have helped establish data centers that enable African startups to scale their operations, resulting in a more dynamic entrepreneurial landscape. The obvious benefits of these technological advancements are visible in various sectors, including finance, where fintech solutions have seen a rapid rise. Chinese institutions are increasingly collaborating with local banks to develop services that address specific challenges faced in Africa. Innovative technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence play a crucial role in mitigating financial risks and fostering an investor-friendly atmosphere. The success of platforms like M-Pesa in Kenya exemplifies how digital solutions can revolutionize financial transactions and improve access to banking services for millions. Another noteworthy aspect of the collaboration between China and Africa is the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This multifaceted initiative enhances infrastructure development by investing in various projects across the African continent. One significant impact of the BRI has been its contribution to digital infrastructure. Through carefully planned investments, countries have access to an integrated network of telecommunications, which not only boosts e-commerce but also provides essential services like telemedicine, remote education, and more. Furthermore, this partnership emphasizes the importance of aligning digital transformation with sustainable practices. As both regions pursue economic growth, they maintain a commitment to advancing digital access that benefits future generations. Investments in renewable energy sources, for example, reflect an understanding of the environmental implications of rapid technological advancement. Chinese companies have been increasingly involved in developing solar energy projects in Africa, thus supporting the continent's shift towards more sustainable energy solutions. The developments in digital infrastructure between China and Africa serve as a case study of how strong partnerships can lead to mutual benefits. The economic ramifications are profound, yet the societal impact is equally significant.
