Africa cannot achieve prosperity with just 5% electricity access. We must accelerate regional power integration, financing decentralized systems, and cutting project implementation times. Energy isn't just infrastructure – it's opportunity.💡

Absolutely. Without reliable energy access, education, health, and economic development remain out of reach. Time to act is now.

AI at scale is hitting a hard limit with energy. As AI infrastructure expands, power demand, not just compute architecture, is emerging as the gating constraint and pushing frontier builders toward vertically integrated deep tech bets spanning quantum discovery and fusion energy. Lenovo Data Center's Flynn Maloy and Jason Gibson, CEO and Co-founder of Quantum Formatics, discuss their collaboration to meet this challenge. They're betting on a dual-front strategy: leveraging quantum-driven simulation to accelerate material discovery while simultaneously pursuing fusion as the long-term energy unlock. Next-generation infrastructure requires breakthroughs not just in chips, but in the physical systems that power them.

I've built and scaled infrastructure. The hardest part isn't the tech, it's the foundation. $IREN true moat is its vertical integration. They own the 'key bottlenecks' of the AI revolution: 2.9GW of secured power. You can't just 'compete' with that. You have to build it. That takes years and billions. The best part? There's plenty more of it "undisclosed", still to be connected. Watch "Where power meets connectivity"

⚡️⚡️Vladimir Putin urged Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico to halt gas and electricity supplies to Ukraine in response to attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, including the Druzhba oil pipeline. Putin reiterated his firm opposition to Ukraine’s NATO membership but indicated no objection to its potential EU accession. He also revealed ongoing discussions with the United States regarding joint initiatives at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and proposed a collaborative energy project with Slovakia. Everything else just a repetition of old propaganda. #StopRussianAggression

"This country must work. People cannot keep taking us for granted. I was in South Africa days ago, they have over 40,000 megawatts of electricity and people are still complaining about power outages. In Nigeria, we have just about 4,000 megawatts and yet we are not complaining. If you don’t want to complain, this is the time for us to come out and speak up. If you cannot serve, please leave, we don’t need excuses. As for me, from what I’m seeing, I know change is possible." —Mr Peter Obi speaking at the ongoing NDC dinner in Abuja tonight

How bitcoin mining can help achieve universal electrification in #Africa Africa faces a renewable energy paradox: underutilized capacity. While countries invest in large-scale renewable projects, transmission and distribution infrastructure often lag, leaving much of that energy stranded. Take Ethiopia’s Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) as an example. With a capacity of 5,150 MW and an estimated annual generation of 16,153 GWh, GERD has the potential to transform the region’s energy landscape. However, QRB Labs estimates it could cost $8-10 billion to build the transmission and distribution lines needed to deliver this power to end users. Ethiopia is turning this challenge into an opportunity. By selling stranded renewable energy to Bitcoin miners, the country is generating critical cashflow to fund its energy infrastructure: • $55 million in revenue in just 10 months • Contribution of 2.25% of the global Bitcoin hash rate • Projected $123 million in revenue by 2025 It all began with QRB Labs, Ethiopia’s first and only locally owned Bitcoin mining operation. Their pioneering effort demonstrates how Bitcoin mining can monetize surplus power and finance the infrastructure needed for universal electrification. Ethiopia is showing Africa what’s possible: Bitcoin mining can be a bridge to achieving #SDG7 and beyond. Humming like a swarm of bees! Watch the video from QRB Labs’ facility. #BitcoinMining #RenewableEnergy #SDG7 #Ethiopia #Africa #EnergyAccess

Ukrainian experts have unique experience in protecting and restoring energy supply. The war has taught us a lot – not just how to recover after Russian missiles and bombs, but also how to handle cyberattacks and other threats. Ukraine has unique expertise and experience, and we are ready to share it. We need more security cooperation. Ukraine suggests doing this through the Three Seas format. First, energy. We need to protect our energy infrastructure – especially near Russian borders – and set up joint emergency plans. We should check how ready we are to defend and fix energy systems if something happens. Second, backups. We need more ways to support each other. Energy grids, pipelines, communication systems – all critical infrastructure – should be built with backup routes. So every country can help others in times of crisis. Third, transport. Our region needs better logistics links. Just like the Baltic Sea can help when there are problems in the Black Sea, the Black Sea should also help your countries in case of a crisis. We should all have quick access to the Adriatic Sea too – in case something happens across the region. We need to learn from how Russia behaves and get prepared better. And to really make this happen, we need peace. A lasting one. And we can only reach that now, together, by standing united

Whitney Webb exposes the climate movement's shocking truth. Groups like "Just Stop Oil" are funded by oil dynasties—Rockefeller, Getty. Why? They've shifted the focus from real pollution to CO2, making you the villain, not the corporate or military polluters. The goal? Control. Control energy, and you control a family's economic power, mobility, and even its size. This isn't about saving the planet. It's a war on human agency and prosperity, with climate alarm as the weapon.

BREAKING: Zach Dell (Zach Dell) CEO of Base Power says " Chinese models are going to overtake domestic models in usage." "I spend a lot of my time thinking about energy, the country, & our ability to consume, generate, store, sell electricity. And I spend a lot of time thinking about China & their ability to produce & consume electricity. One thing that has been interesting to me is Chinese tokens & the rate at which they're being generated & the cost. My hot take is that Chinese models are going to overtake domestic models in terms of usage. If you look at platforms like OpenRouter & other online platforms where you can track model usage, I think the Chinese are gonna continue investing incredibly heavily in energy production. They're going to capture the Watt flop or the Watt token spread by turning a lot of that energy into compute. And that's gonna drive massive amount of usage in Chinese models, which just means we have to go faster. The US energy infrastructure industry has to go faster. We have to build power faster. We have to develop compute infrastructure faster. We must accelerate." "We're here at Hill & Valley, which has me feeling awfully patriotic."

🇮🇶 A country exporting 220,000 barrels instead of 3.8 million, with no gas, no electricity, and a regasification ship stuck outside a closed strait. Energy Economist Anas Alhajji just laid it all out. "We are talking about a country that is cursed by geography, cursed by its oil, cursed by sectarian violence and other things. So in a sense, we have triple curses in Iraq that might explode at any moment." And the coming crisis isn't energy. It's industrial and agricultural, and it hits harder by September. Anas Alhajji

This is the time for us to come out to complain, what I’m seeing now, I can change it, Those who refuse to count our votes, we’ll count them with it. Our children cannot go on like this, this country must work, people can no longer take us for granted” - Peter Obi at the NDC dinner tonight

Infrastructure defines what scales. Electricity enabled industry. The internet enabled software. Now AI is moving toward systems that run continuously, across data, execution, and feedback. 💡At OptimAI, we’re building that infrastructure. A decentralized search layer for real-time data. A network of nodes powering continuous retrieval and validation. Agents that execute tasks directly on your device. This is not theoretical - we’re already seeing it in production, with millions of nodes and growing usage across the network. We’re putting together a short documentary to show how this shift is happening, and where it leads next. If you’re building, exploring, or just getting started - this is the layer to pay attention to. Welcome to OptimAI.

Solar and wind are sold as cheaper than coal, gas or nuclear using a number called LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy). But LCOE is a junk metric. It pretends that one-megawatt-hour of intermittent power is the same as one-megawatt-hour of reliable power. It isn't. When the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow, you still need electricity. So backup plants (coal, gas or nuclear) must run in the background, ready to fire instantly. LCOE fails to count that cost. It also ignores the miles of transmission lines for remote wind farms, the giant storage systems to cover lulls, the stabilizers to keep frequency steady, and the massive overbuild needed just to survive bad weather weeks.These hidden costs explode as wind and solar take over more of the grid. On paper, LCOE makes these renewables look cheap. In reality, they drive up costs system-wide. That's why nations with the most wind and solar have the highest electricity prices. LCOE isn't just misleading, it's a lie.

AfDB PRESIDENCY: ZAMBIA'S DR. SAMUEL MAIMBO OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES CANDIDACY Dr. Samuel Maimbo has been endorsed by both the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). LUSAKA, Zambia, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Development finance expert Dr. Samuel Maimbo today announced his candidacy for President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), presenting a transformative vision for Africa's economic future. "Africa stands at a critical juncture," Dr. Maimbo declared. "We need to get one billion people to work as quickly as possible by strategically supporting the industries that will improve livelihoods and ignite prosperity on our continent. The AfDB needs bold, results-driven leadership that is unafraid of making the hard decisions required to get the job done." With a 30-year career characterized by delivering real-world impact – record-breaking fundraising, translating bold ideas into practical implementation plans, and enhancing institutional efficiency – Dr. Maimbo represents an exciting way forward for the AfDB. His presidential platform focuses on achieving middle-income status for Africa through an AfDB which is laser focused on pace, scale and effectiveness of delivery. "Africa needs significantly higher rates of growth to successfully navigate today's development challenges and capture tomorrow's opportunities," said Dr. Maimbo. "I'm ready on day one to support governments in reaching their goals. It's time to stop talking about Africa's potential and start realizing it." Dr. Maimbo's core priorities include: Trade and Regional Integration: Currently at just 3% of global trade, Africa has immense growth potential through the AfCFTA's unified market of 1.4 billion people. Financial Resources: Strengthening markets, boosting savings, and attracting diverse investments can close Africa's financing gap. Agricultural Transformation: With 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land, Africa can become a global agricultural powerhouse. Infrastructure Development: Modernizing infrastructure is crucial for competitiveness and growth. Energy Access: Accelerating energy access while promoting sustainability will power Africa's long-term economic advancement. Climate Action: Despite contributing <4% to global emissions, Africa faces disproportionate climate impacts. Scaling up investments in resilience and embracing new technologies will safeguard Africa. Creative Industries: A powerful driver of youth employment and cultural exports, Africa's creative industries can amplify Africa's global impact. Inclusivity: Young people, women, and underserved communities across Africa must help design effective strategies. Born and raised in Lusaka, Dr. Maimbo has worked in development finance across Africa and the globe, most recently serving as the Vice President of Budget, Performance Review, and Strategic Planning at the World Bank. As Chief of Staff to successive World Bank Presidents, he played an instrumental role in advancing the institution's mission and strategy at the highest international levels. His stewardship in resource mobilization secured an unprecedented $93 billion financing package under the International Development Association replenishment, with over 70% of the organization's global commitments directed toward Africa.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan. Through changing times, China-Pakistan friendship has remained as strong as iron, with the two countries often termed as "Iron Brothers", while green cooperation is becoming a new highlight of bilateral ties. Located on the Jhelum River in Pakistan, the 720 MW Karot Hydropower Project, developed by CTG and operated by CSAIL, is known as Pakistan's version of "Three Gorges Project". It is the first major CPEC hydropower project in commercial operation and the first large-scale hydropower investment project under the Belt and Road Initiative. With an average annual output of about 3.206 billion kWh, it can meet the electricity demand of more than five million local people. CSAIL also operates three wind farms in Jhimpir, Sindh, with a combined installed capacity of 148.5 MW. Together, they deliver about 443 GWh of clean electricity every year, enough to meet the power needs of more than 600,000 people. But this partnership is not only about electricity. Beyond power generation, CSAIL has supported biodiversity protection along the Jhelum River, community infrastructure, roads, bridges, water systems, hospitals, schools, scholarships and flood relief. From hydropower to wind power, from energy supply to community support, these projects show how clean energy cooperation can bring long-term value to people, nature and development.

Everyone sees the aircraft. Almost nobody sees the machine behind it. This week, Ethiopian Airlines gave us access to the people, systems, technology, training, and infrastructure that power one of the world's most respected airlines. What stood out wasn't just the scale. It was the discipline, precision, and long-term vision required to build an organization that connects Africa to the world every single day. Too often, conversations about Africa focus on potential. What we witnessed in Addis Ababa was execution. Behind every departure and arrival is a world-class operation built by thousands of people working toward a shared mission. Thank you to Ethiopian Airlines for the invitation and for the opportunity to see firsthand what excellence looks like behind the scenes. The world's attention often goes to what is visible. Real impact is built by what isn't. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 🇪🇹 #Ethiopia #Africa #Aviation #Innovation #Leadership
