    The World Bank hopes to bring modern lighting to one-fourth of Africa's people by developing markets for products not hostage to fossil fuels or the continent's lamentable electricity grid. The bank and its private investment arm, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), say their "Lighting Africa" programme aims to bring light to 250 million sub-Saharan Africans cut off from existing power infrastructure by 2030. "Modern lighting will mean improved air quality and safety for millions of people in Africa," S. Vijay Iyer, the bank's energy sector manager for Africa, said in a statement. "It will mean longer reading hours for students and longer business hours for small shops."

Some economists say electricity isn't suited to competition because it's needed 24 hours a day and can't be stored, giving sellers too much leverage.
