Africa’s transition to cleaner energy has been accelerating over the last decade as the continent ramps up its production capacity to match its ever-growing needs. With strong demand expected to continue rising, driven by population growth, increasing urbanisation, industrialisation and trade, Africa’s new energy projects are a vital part of the global battle against climate change.
However, the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy has brought Africa’s switch from fossil fuels to renewables into sharp focus. A study by the University of Oxford published this month showed that Africa is highly unlikely to meet its ambitious targets for the use of renewables, which are now only expected to account for less than 10% of Africa’s energy generation by 2030.
