Abstract

Given that there are 54 very different countries in the continent of Africa, ranging from the very poor to the relatively affluent, with varying levels of political stability and economic development, it is difficult to make generalisations. However, one thing is clear: Africa has a very large renewable energy potential, which, if properly developed, can help mitigate some of the major social, environmental and economic problems it faces, including rising energy demand and climate change, poor energy access and environmental pollution, while creating sustainable employment.
