In Africa, solar, wind and geothermal projects are gaining momentum as countries look to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions and increase people’s access to electricity. The rise of renewable energy in Africa has coincided with a decade of growth globally, with solar energy alone experiencing a 30% growth a year.
As noted by AFSIA Solar, one of the most notable solar-plus-storage developments in Africa is Norway-based independent power producer (IPP) Scatec’s 225MW/1,140MWh Kenhardt project in South Africa. The site started operation in late 2023 (pictured above).
At 100 megawatts, Kenya’s Lake Turkana Wind Power Project is the largest wind farm in Africa. It can provide clean energy to a million homes. In South Africa, solar PV projects are expanding rapidly. The country’s renewable energy programme under the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) aims to add 17.8 gigawatts by 2030.
