10 African Countries with most expensive electricity prices

According to Information provided by Statista – a global markets and consumer data company based in Hamburg Germany. These ten countries have highest electricity prices in Africa.

1. Rwanda: This East African country has the most expensive household electricity price on the continent. According to Statista, Rwandan households pay an average of $0.26 for every kilowatt hour of electricity they get. So, assuming that Rwandans get to have 24-hour electricity, this would translate to $6.24 per day and $194.44 per month.
2. Cape Verde: This island country has the second most expensive household electricity price in Africa. Here, one kilowatt hour of electricity would cost a household in Cape Verde $0.25. Again for context, this would translate to $6 per day and $186 per month, assuming households here get access to 24-hour electricity.
3. Mali: This West African country comes in next on the third position, with a price of $0.23 for every one kilowatt hour of electricity. Now, Mali does not have constant electricity supply. But assuming it does, this would mean that Malian households would have to pay $5.52 daily and $171.12 monthly for electricity.
4. Burkina Faso: This Francophone Western African country has the fourth most expensive household electricity price in Africa. According to our source, one kilowatt hour of electricity in this land-locked country would cost $0.22. And in a scenario where the country supplies 24-hour electricity to households, this would equate to $5.28 per day and $163.68 per month.
5. Gabon: Gabon currently holds the record for fifth most expensive African country with most expensive household electricity price. Much like Burkina Faso, a kilowatt hour of electricity here would cost households $0.22. And assuming Gabon supplies 24-hour electricity to every households, this would amount to a total price of $5.28 and $163.68 daily and monthly, respectively.
6. Kenya: Households in this East African country also pay an average price of $0.22 for every kilowatt hour of electricity they get. Based on our working assumption, this would equate to $5.28 per day and $163.68 per month.
7. Togo: Households in this West African country pay an average price of $0.20 per kilowatt hour of electricity they use. This would amount to $4.8 daily and $148.8 monthly.
8. Uganda: Uganda’s average household electricity price is $0.19 per one kilowatt hour of electricity. This would translate to $4.56 per day and $141.36 per month.
9. Senegal: In this Francophone West African country, households pay $0.18 for every one kilowatt hour of electricity they use. This would translate to $4.32 per day and $133.92 per month.
10. Sierra Leone: Finally, we have Sierra Leone where households pay an average electricity price of $0.15 per one kilowatt hour of electricity. This would translate to $3.6 per day and $111.6 per month.
