According to the International Energy Agency, population growth in these regions is outpacing the number of new electricity connections. By 2030, one-fifth of the world’s population will live in Africa. Yet more than 600 million people there lack access to electricity. Rapid population growth, urbanization, and economic development are driving up energy demand. Incidentally, about 14 percent of global uranium production comes from African countries.
Only South Africa has a nuclear power plant currently under construction. Many other African countries, such as Kenya, Morocco, Ghana, Niger, Tanzania, and Zambia, are planning to build nuclear power plants. Egypt is already building a nuclear power plant, with the first unit scheduled to go online in 2028. SMRs (small modular reactors) in particular could be beneficial in Africa. After all, the goals are energy access and industrialization. And SMRs offer lower investment costs, shorter construction times, and the ability to supply remote regions – including mining areas – with electricity.
Today, Africa accounts for only six percent of global energy consumption. A sustainable and secure energy supply must therefore be urgently expanded in Africa. According to estimates, energy spending must therefore roughly double by 2030. Efforts to reduce CO2 emissions have fueled nuclear energy worldwide and, consequently, demand for uranium. ’s largest uranium producer is Kazakhstan, with Russia and Canada being equally significant. A large portion of Canadian uranium comes from mines in Saskatchewan.
IsoEnergy ( –https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/isoenergy-ltd/ -) is considered a uranium producer that could begin production in the near future and holds high-grade uranium properties in Saskatchewan. Additional uranium projects are located in Australia, Argentina, and the U.S. The Larocque East project in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan is particularly high-quality, boasting shallow mineralization and excellent infrastructure. The latest drill results once again confirm the high-grade uranium mineralization. According to a survey by the Fraser Institute, several areas in IsoEnergy’s portfolio rank among the world’s leading regions.
Premier American Uranium (- https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/premier-american-uranium-inc/ -) holds uranium projects in five outstanding regions across the U.S. With its extensive land holdings, the company is ideally positioned to strengthen energy security in the U.S. A private placement has provided fresh capital. An extensive work program is planned for 2026 at the flagship Cebolleta project in New Mexico. The 2026 exploration program has begun at the Kaycee project in Wyoming.
