🤔 Did you know there exist plans to interconnect Cairo to Cape Town to allow electricity flow?
Operationalisation of the @EAPowerPool and connecting it to the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) will allow power to flow through Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia to South Africa. This collaboration extends beyond Eastern Africa, fostering a unified approach to energy development across the continent. ⚡
