Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyse the convergence of national electricity access rates in 51 African countries from 2000 to 2022. Moreover, we also assessed the convergence of urban and rural electricity access rates in Africa. The results reveal evidence for stochastic convergence of electricity access rates. The results also support the incidence of beta convergence and show that national output, population, and institutional quality facilitate the incidence of beta convergence of the electricity series. Sigma convergence analysis results also suggest the existence of convergence of electricity access rates.
