This weekend I visualized how electricity access has changed across West Africa over the last 18 years — and the progress is striking, though uneven. Ghana – Near-universal access. A regional benchmark. Côte d’Ivoire – Strong, consistent growth into the top tier. Nigeria – Big improvement, but population size keeps the gap wide. Senegal – Solid gains driven by energy reforms. Mali & Burkina Faso – Progress, but still constrained by infrastructure. Niger – Improvement visible, yet access remains very low. Sierra Leone & Liberia – Large relative gains from low starting points. West Africa is advancing — but where you live still determines whether you have power. I’m excited to continue exploring how data can drive better decisions in energy, development, and policy. Which country’s progress surprised you the most? Data source: World Bank

Course practice 1.35 This course, with its Python exercise, allows you to visualise 10 years of global trends and developments in clean energy production by major region (Africa, China, Europe, etc.). 1/ World 2/ Africa The improvements are clear to see!

I’m sharing a career guide on consulting paths for Energy Data Scientists. It breaks down the three main routes: Strategy, Technical/Specialist, and Implementation consulting. And it explains what the work looks like, typical deliverables, and the skill sets needed. PDF attached. All career guides are in Classroom --> 6.3.

Predicting the future of energy (literature) In France, the Defense Red Team for the Ministry of the Armed Forces publishes science fiction stories that are accessible to all, offering a new way of looking at energy and geopolitical issues. Are there any current science fiction stories, scenarios, about energy in other countries? Stories written by science fiction authors who are members of a state-affiliated circle?
