The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has announced a grant of up to $88.9 million over the next five years to step up investment in renewable energy and reduce electricity access gaps in east and central Africa.

The money will be used to directly support the creation of about 10 million on- and off-grid electricity connections, a move expected to connect at least 50 million people to electricity generated from clean sources.
