The African continent is literally a giant. Population, GDP of many countries, size of families, the quantities of rare earths, raw materials, everywhere the development is positive. But also power outages, violent crime, number of crimes per 100000 inhabitants, unfortunately, in this respect the figures are also in the plus! Fortunately, not in all countries, there are also still quite safe countries.
Such as Namibia, Egypt, Gambia and Eritrea. There the chances for a significant improvement of the situation are extremely promising and if the right course is set there, the expectations of the Africa experts for the population and the GDP of the countries are rosy.
Here are 5 African countries that will play an increasingly important role due to the size of their populations and growth in demand
1
NIGERIA:
215,000,000
2
ETHIOPIA:
109.000.000
3
EGYPT:
105.000.000
4
CONGO:
102,000,000
5
TANZANIA:
59,000,000
2020 figures, rounded up in each case.
Such large (and further population growth!) populations also require a correspondingly rapid satisfaction of demand for products of all kinds. Thus, manufacturers of luxury goods and branded articles can also report an ever-increasing demand for their original products from the boom centers on the Black Continent.
Africa is therefore becoming increasingly interesting for investors and retailers. In many countries in Africa, there is a growing middle class with an increasing propensity to consume, which in terms of lifestyle almost corresponds to the majority of the population in Europe or Canada.
Reliable information on taxes and government support measures
https://africainvestco.com/ (AIC) is an interesting company, e.g. for investors of all industries who want to bring investments to Africa. Africa is a dynamically growing continent with numerous suppliers of raw materials of all kinds, and 80% of all rare earths are found on the African continent. It is also interesting that the population in some countries has almost the same purchasing power as in Europe – more and more want good brands and they want them now!
African hunger for energy is growing fast
Let’s choose energy production as a high-growth example sector, because all countries on the continent have an ever-increasing hunger for energy. If we look at Africa as a market, we notice that the hunger for energy has increased dynamically in all countries on the continent over the last 20 years. Many countries on the black continent experience power outages on a daily basis; surprisingly, the situation in comparatively developed South Africa, for example, has become very negative in this regard. Whereas 20 years ago there were only occasional and only locally brief power outages in Cape Town, Durban or Johannesburg, daily power rationing is the order of the day. For example, various districts in all major South African cities have their own ‚power delivery schedules‘ so that the population can prepare for daily power outages.
Most power outages in Africa currently occur in South Africa
How is it then that comparatively prosperous South Africa suffers from constant power outages or even power cuts? The population of all major South African cities has increased sharply, and more and more people have fled or moved to what is rightly described as prosperous South Africa. At the same time, for decades, hardly any money was spent by city councils or even ministries for coordinating infrastructure to adapt the ailing infrastructure to the growing demand for electricity.
It can therefore be assumed that the situation in RSA will continue to deteriorate in the coming years. Those responsible have yet to take countermeasures, and with them an improvement in the incomes of the poor or lower middle class. The higher the income of the people in South Africa, the more the wealthy classes have adjusted to the permanent power deficits.
Diesel generators, wind turbines and/or solar panels supply entire better-off sections of the population in their neighborhoods or apartment blocks or luxury villas with security guards and the corresponding infrastructure.
Green energy for Africa, a huge potential for potential investors
The German born Dipl. Ing. Peter Weissferdt is considered a specialist for Africa and environmentally friendly energy & power supply Here is a great potential for potential investors from the field of energy and environmental management.
Exactly for this potential target group www.africainvestco.com offers its services. The company has with the German environmental engineer Peter Weissferdt one of the most profiled and experienced experts in the energy sector and so the government of any country can access the concentrated know-how of more than 40 years of environmentally friendly energy and environmental technology through africainvestco.com.
Peter has delivered the installation and grid connection of more than 3000 (!) wind, solar and biogas plants including grid connection up to 400kV. He was also the lead engineer for a 300MW offshore wind power plant in the North Sea.
As an example of his know-how, please see the following concept, developed by Dipl. Ing. Peter Weissferdt:

Investments in green energies also in The Gambia
Dipl. Ing. Peter Weissferdt with more than 40 years of experience as leading engineer for various worldwide projects of power and energy generation was also the initiator and responsible engineer for the installation of a 1.25 MW wind power and 1 MW PV solar plant in Gambia (under the control of AIC).
Because even in the smallest country in Africa, The Gambia, there are permanent power outages, often for only a few minutes, but also for several hours on other days. In order to provide a continuous power supply that is largely independent of the local utility NAWEC, a number of investors have come together to significantly improve the energy supply in parts of the country.
More information in the interview with South African TV:
Peter Weisspferdt had a high occupancy rate in his eco lodge
The experienced environmental engineer created an eco-friendly, upscale lodge in The Gambia about 20 years ago and has made it virtually self-sufficient with wind and solar power (including bio-power plants in the future). Peter says:
‚Many countries in Africa are blessed with over 300 days of sunshine a year and have stretches of coastline or mountains with decent winds suitable for wind turbines. No tree needs to be cut down in the process; we place great emphasis on sustainable power generation.
The travel industry is particularly affected, all hotels must have functioning and fast-starting diesel generators
Power outages in Africa have a significant impact on the travel industry as they make hotels, restaurants and transport services unreliable. Tourists are often faced with limited air conditioning, unpredictable internet and power connections as well as safety concerns. This leads to a poor experience and reduces traveller satisfaction. In addition, operating costs increase for hotels and businesses that rely on generators and alternative energy sources. As a result, many tourists are choosing more stable destinations, which reduces the revenue of the affected countries.
The devasting energy situation in South Africa, but also in many other African countries bugs and surprises vacationers and residents alike
For example …: South Africa’s precarious energy supply situation is surprising because the country has been a longing destination for many wealthy Britons and mainland Europeans for centuries. But other countries are also affected by permanent power shortages, and unfortunately this is true for almost all countries in Africa.
The African continent has all the resources, including huge mountains of plastic waste, to eliminate the power shortage once and for all. Modern waste-to-energy plants with appropriate filter technology could economically put an end to the blackouts of the power supply in Africa, which often uses diesel generators, and effectively stem the tide of plastic…
Conclusion:
The ever-growing hunger for energy in particular should attract investors to Africa. In many countries, there are often power cuts and the demand for energy continues to rise, but there is hardly any investment in infrastructure. This creates fantastic opportunities, especially for investments in Africa’s infrastructure…
