The International Finance Corporation (IFC), an arm of the World Bank Group, says it has mobilised and invested over $2 billion to support more than 1, 5000 megawatts of new generation capacity in Africa in the past two years. It says Africa needs to increase its power generation capacity by 7, 000 megawatts each year to meet rising demand for electricity in a continent where most people live without electricity lamenting that such gap hinders economic growth and deters much-needed foreign investment.
