Mapping Africa's energy wealth amid widespread power poverty

Al Jazeera has published a data-driven look at Africa's energy paradox: the continent holds vast oil, gas, solar and hydro resources, yet roughly 560 million Africans still live without electricity. The mapping project highlights the gap between resource wealth and access, showing which regions remain off the grid and why investment and infrastructure have failed to reach hundreds of millions of people.
Why now: The striking contrast between Africa's abundant energy resources and the huge number of people without electricity continues to draw attention.
