Moving forward back: Worldbank and AFD invest another $600m(!) in old, centralized power technology

International investors are investing another high amount in outdated centralised power technology – and obviate thereby that Africa gets access to power technology of 21th century:

Tanzania received $465 million from the World Bank for its power interconnector project with Zambia, while Kenya signed a $179 million loan with French development agency Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD), breathing new life into the region’s power pool projects which, once complete, will link more than 10 countries.
