I’m in Kigali, Rwanda, where I just spoke at the opening of @NEISAfrica’s Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa #NEISA2026, together with 🇷🇼 President @PaulKagame, 🇹🇿 President @SuluhuSamia, and 🇹🇬 President @FEGnassingbe.
Africa needs more energy, with around 600 million people still lacking access to electricity. The interest in nuclear power is real: about half of all @IAEAorg newcomer countries are African, and 13 are actively pursuing nuclear power programmes.
Rwanda specifically is among the countries looking to nuclear energy as part of the solution, with plans for nuclear to contribute more than 60% of its energy mix by 2050. I handed over to President @PaulKagame the Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review (INIR), a report by the IAEA that assesses the country’s progress in developing the infrastructure needed for a safe and secure and sustainable nuclear power programme.
Africa’s energy future will be built by Africans, and the IAEA is ready to continue supporting countries across the continent, from infrastructure development and capacity building to new technologies such as SMRs. Recent agreements between the IAEA and financial institutions such as the @WorldBankGroup will be key in turning ambition into reality.
Thanks to @RAEB_Rwanda President @SinaZerbo for organising #NEISA2026 and this important conversation on Africa’s energy future.
