In this context, if the first phase of Power Africa succeeds in its stated goal of adding 10 GW of generation capacity and connecting 20 million new residential and commercial customers, it will represent a major expansion—albeit not near the doubling of access that, according to the White House fact sheet on Power Africa, is the program’s ultimate aim. 
Katika mukhtadha huu, kama awamu ya kwanza ya mradi huu wa "Umeme kwa Afrika" itafanikiwa kufikia malengo yake ya kuongeza GW 10 za uwezo wa uzalishaj na kuwaunganisha wateja milioni 20 wa nyumbani na wa kibishara, itakuwa ni ukuaji mkubwa ambao hata hivyo haitakuwa mara dufu ambalo, kwa mjibu wa mkakati wa Ikulu ya Marekani kwa mradi huo, ndilo lengo kuu la mradi.
