May want to account for the differences in GDP rebasing too - I observed the same gaps in West Africa a couple of years back but it turned out it was largely driven by rebasing and the timing of rebasing. I am sure the gaps will remain but likely not that big.

(GDP ratios in last graph are fairly constant. So while the gaps between these countries are real, and big, divergence looks like mostly an exchange rate phenomenon.)

“Counting the number of households that gained some form of access to modern energy from one year to the next has become an end in itself,” writes @mpblimpo. It’s time to reimagine energy access as a means to economic growth and development. issues.org/enabling-econo…
