With less than 2% of global investments in renewable energy received over the past two decades, Africa has historically been left behind in the global energy transition. This underinvestment has left three-quarters of the world's population without adequate energy access. Therefore, accelerating the shift to a sustainable energy future requires significant and rapid growth of investments in the African energy system.

Accelerating the Adoption and Financing of Renewable Solutions in Africa. Africa stands at the forefront of a renewable energy revolution, with vast potential to transform its energy landscape while addressing the pressing challenges of climate change, energy access, and economic development. However, the pace of adoption and financing of renewable energy solutions remains a critical challenge. Addressing this gap is essential to unlock the continent’s full potential and accelerate its transition to sustainable energy systems.

📰 Unlocking the #renewables potential in #Africa to achieve the global #3xRenewables target and increase universal energy access is highlighted in the IPS News article on #IRENA14A “Electricity remains the backbone of Africa’s new energy systems, powered increasingly by renewables, but a large part of the continent is still left out of the energy transition,” said Bruce Douglas, CEO of GRA. Africa has the potential to achieve several renewable energy milestones, with the latest estimates showing that the continent accounts for around 39% of the world’s renewable energy potential. Some of the policy recommendations discussed at #IRENA14A include countries revising their regulatory framework and moving towards harmonisation to improve regional and cross-border electricity interconnections. Additionally, speakers called for an increase in investment in the continent, as part of the effort to reduce the existing gap between the Global North and the Global South. “Private and public investment is critical to tackling the multiple dimensions of today’s energy crisis in Africa but to ensure energy security, diversification of various sources is also essential,” added Bruce Douglas.

We’re pleased to see a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), highlighting the huge potential for Namibia to drive sustainable economic growth through the development of renewable energy. ☀️ This report underscores the country’s world-class solar and wind energy resources, positioning Namibia as a leader in clean energy on the African continent. 💧 Namibia has the opportunity to become a hub for renewable hydrogen production, attracting global investment and creating new skilled jobs. 💡 With supportive policies and strategic investments, Namibia can not only reduce its reliance on imported electricity but also enhance energy security, lower costs for consumers, and support universal electricity access, particularly in remote areas. At Hyphen, we are committed to developing Namibia’s green hydrogen industry through our landmark project, that will support both economic growth in Namibia and assist the world in achieving its decarbonisation goals. 🔗 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eDV_R2-Q #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #IEA #Namibia

Namibia’s renewable energy potential is truly inspiring, and the IEA’s report highlights the immense opportunity for the country to lead the way in clean energy and green hydrogen production. It’s exciting to see the convergence of world-class resources, global investment, and the vision to drive sustainable economic growth. At Hyphen, we’re proud to be part of this transformative journey, contributing to a greener future for Namibia and the world.
