🌍 NET8: Africa’s Homegrown Answer to the Energy Divide

By Ousmane Diakité – Founder of Africa55Durable

While over 600 million Africans still lack reliable access to electricity, a great initiative  is stirring from within the continent itself. It’s called Africa55Durable advocating for NET8 coin the quiet revolutionning token —short for Neutrino Energy Token. Its promise? 10 kWh for €0.20. Its ambition? To electrify Africa without dependency, debt, or delay. Its origin? Proudly African.

⚡ The Energy Cost Trap

In countries like Mali, Niger, and Guinea-Bissau, the average cost of electricity exceeds €0.18 per kWh—up to €0.30 in some zones. Governments spend heavily on subsidies. Citizens pay a steep price for unreliable service. Meanwhile, the fiscal strain deepens, and social instability grows.

💡 NET8: A Local, Programmable, Inclusive Solution

NET8 is a programmable energy token, backed by neutrinovoltaic technology—devices capable of generating electricity from ambient vibrations. Each token provides 10 traceable and equitable kWh. It enables fast, off-grid, decentralized electrification, especially in underserved rural areas.

📊 A Continental Impact Assessment

Across 20 countries studied, NET8 proves transformative:

• Energy savings of up to 85% per household

• Significant fiscal relief: €200 million for Côte d’Ivoire, €1.5 billion for Nigeria

• Expansion of the formal economy via energy inclusion

• Social impact: reduced cost of living, improved education and healthcare access

🌱 A Climate and Diplomatic Lever

NET8 reduces reliance on diesel, supports carbon reduction targets (NDCs), and enables access to climate funds (GCF, RSF, AfDB). More than a tech innovation, NET8 is a tool of energy sovereignty and pan-African diplomacy.

🛠️ A Vision Driven by Africa55Durable

At Africa55Durable, we’re building the structures behind this movement: impact maps, bilingual diplomatic kits, fiscal briefs, and visual storytelling to equip African states and partners with the strategy and tools they need.

Conclusion Africa is no longer waiting. It is proposing. It is building. It is lighting up. NET8 is not a concept. It is a movement—one built on dignity, ambition, and innovation.
