Thepurpose of the article is to find out if the EU is perceived in Sub-SaharanAfrica as an indispensable actor of the international energy relations, orwhether these energy relations are still the domain of individual EUMember States. At the same time, the article further analyzes the goals,interests and tools that the EU is pursuing and using in its energy policytowards Sub-Saharan Africa. The article uses the concept of a modified formof the EU's external energy actorness based on three criteria: (1) theperception of the actor by a third party, (2) the policy goals and interests,and (3) the resources and policy tools.
