This statistic displays the installed power capacity in Africa from 2009 to 2015. In 2011, total installed power capacity reached 68 gigawatts. Despite the availability of low power sources like large hydro, many governments in Africa suppress power prices which may lead to inefficient utilities and a barrier to entry by other companies.
