With a Little Help, Africa Could Become a Renewable Energy Powerhouse
Africa will quadruple its renewable energy capacity to about 120 gigawatts by 2030 if investors devote sufficient funds to the work, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. Moreover, according to Think Progress, “a World Bank report released this week found that Sub-Saharan Africa could provide more than 170 gigawatts of additional power-generation capacity — more than double the region’s current installations — through 3,200 ‘low-carbon’ energy projects.”
