# Africa Energy Intelligence Dashboard
An Excel dashboard tracking electricity access, generation capacity, and clean-cooking deficits across 20 African countries, benchmarked against the African Union's 2030 renewable energy targets.
## What it covers
Built entirely with PivotTables and PivotCharts on a 20-country, 30-metric dataset (World Bank, IEA, and AU sources):
- **Energy Access** — electricity access %, people without electricity, urban vs. rural electrification gap, by country and region
- **Energy Capacity** — total installed capacity, renewable vs. non-renewable split, generation mix (hydro, solar, wind, geothermal, coal, gas)
- **Clean Cooking Deficit** — people without access to clean cooking, ranked by country
- **AU 2030 Target Tracking** — each country's remaining capacity gap and required annual growth rate to hit the African Union's 2030 renewable energy target
## Key findings
- ~356.5M people across the countries analyzed still lack electricity access (~33% of the combined population)
- Renewable capacity totals 49.6 GW out of 212.2 GW installed (23.4%) — non-renewable capacity still makes up the majority at 76.6%
- The Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, and Mozambique have the largest clean-cooking deficits
