Africa Power Grid is GA's weekly magazine on the infrastructure of Africa–World influence: energy and the networks that carry it. Africa does not produce energy for itself alone; its gas, oil, hydro, solar and wind feed Europe, Asia and the Gulf, its pipelines, LNG terminals, dams and cross-border grids are tied into global markets, and the money and the operators behind them come, for the most part, from outside the continent. Behind the megawatts lie economic, geopolitical and strategic choices: an export corridor financed or abandoned, a concession signed, a green-hydrogen deal that decides who will supply Europe's transition, a dam that changes the balance between neighbours. Each week, Africa Power Grid reports one of those contests from the ground — the players, the strategies and the consequences — in both directions of GA's lens: the multinationals, financiers and governments at work on Africa's energy, and Africa's own resources and companies in the world's energy system. It is not an energy programme; it is a magazine about power and interests, of which energy is the terrain. Its question never changes: who powers whom, who controls the lines, and on whose terms?
01 — The Current Through Togo — One country's electricity from end to end: Nigerian gas through the West African Gas Pipeline, the interconnected grid, a village solar kit, and the international actors behind every link. Pilot.
02 — The Corridors — Pipelines and interconnectors: Morocco to Spain, the West African Power Pool, the Nigeria–Morocco project. Who builds the corridors, who uses them, who sets the tariff.
03 — The Majors and the Newcomers — TotalEnergies, Eni, Shell, the Chinese state companies, the Gulf investors: the foreign players developing African energy, and the value-sharing question they all face.
04 — Africa in the Transition — Solar, wind and green hydrogen in Egypt, Morocco, Namibia and Mauritania: clean energy for export, financed abroad, and the question of who benefits at home.
05 — The Dams — Grand Ethiopian Renaissance, Inga, Cahora Bassa: hydropower as regional export and as strategic asset, and the contracts that decide who lights up.
06 — Gas, Oil and LNG — Mozambique, Senegal–Mauritania, Nigeria, Algeria: the terminals, the buyers in Europe and Asia, the prices, and the revenues that reach, or miss, the treasury.
07 — The Energy Hubs — Industrial zones and energy ports connected to international networks: Suez, Tangier, Walvis Bay. African cities becoming crossroads of gas, oil and hydrogen.
08 — Smart Grids and Storage — Digital networks, batteries, mini-grids and the standards written abroad: how the technology of the grid is chosen, and by whom.
09 — The Minerals of the Transition — Cobalt, copper, lithium, graphite: the DRC, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia and the world's demand. Who mines, who refines, who captures the value.
10 — Geopolitics and Sovereignty — Control of resources, security of critical infrastructure, energy in the competition between powers: what African decisions mean for global energy security.
11 — Financing the Future — Development banks, sovereign funds, private capital, public–private partnerships: who finances African energy, at what cost of capital, and on what conditions.
12 — Supplier or Player? — Season synthesis: the scenarios to 2035. Will Africa supply the world with energy, or shape the world it supplies?
