Power as Productivity: Why Africa’s Energy Gap Is a Jobs Problem First
Energy access is usually counted in households connected. The sharper measure is what unreliable power does to the firms and workers who already have a line.
The Corridor Premium
World trade rose in April despite the shocks, a quiet sign of resilience. For a landlocked country, the lesson is that reliable corridors are worth more than ever.
Green Triad: How Hydropower, Wind and Solar Anchor a New China-Africa Bargain
Beijing frames its African energy work as a single green transition. The record shows three very different technologies, doing very different jobs, in very different places.
The Diamond Vulnerability Model
An S&P downgrade, a tighter budget and a recast ODC sales contract are not three separate stories. Together they sketch a model of how diamond dependency works.
Brand safety

Clean-Energy Contracting: RMB 21 Billion in Revenue, and a Question of Whose
