Africa’s cities and towns are rapidly expanding, reshaping where the electrification deficit is concentrated. New geospatial analysis, using a 30-category spatial framework across sub-Saharan Africa, reveals that millions of households without reliable electricity are clustered not in remote, rural areas, but in peri-urban, secondary city, and grid-proximate areas.

Reaching these growing, unelectrified populations within urban and peri-urban networks calls for new strategies for electrification, investment, and policy. Rather than a binary of “grid vs. off-grid,” the research highlights a spectrum of pathways shaped by geography, settlement patterns, and proximity.
