非洲經濟 五

非洲有多種形式的能源（水力發電，石油和天然氣儲備，煤炭生產，鈾生產，太陽能，風能和地熱等可再生能源）。缺乏發展和基礎設施意味著今天實際上幾乎沒有使用這種潛力。缺乏基礎設施為非洲企業帶來了障礙。非洲正在進行許多大型基礎設施項目。到目前為止，這些項目大部分都在生產和運輸電力。許多其他項目包括鋪設高速公路，鐵路，機場和其他建築。電信基礎設施也是非洲的增長領域。雖然網際網路滲透率落後於其他大陸，但仍然達到了9％。

Africa has significant resources for generating energy in several forms (hydroelectric, reserves of petroleum and gas, coal production, uranium production, renewable energy such as solar, wind and geothermal). The lack of development and infrastructure means that little of this potential is actually in use today. Lack of infrastructure creates barriers for African businesses. Many large infrastructure projects are underway across Africa. By far, most of these projects are in the production and transportation of electric power. Many other projects include paved highways, railways, airports, and other construction. Telecommunications infrastructure is also a growth area in Africa. Although Internet penetration lags other continents, it has still reached 9%.
