ABOUT IRENA

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) serves as the principal platform for international co-

operation, a centre of excellence, a repository of policy, technology, resource and financial knowledge, and a driver

of action on the ground to advance the transformation of the global energy system. A global intergovernmental

organisation established in 2011, IRENA promotes the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms of

renewable energy, including bioenergy, geothermal, hydropower, ocean, solar and wind energy, in the pursuit

of sustainable development, energy access, energy security, and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity.

ABOUT AFDB

The African Development Bank Group is Africa"s premier development finance institution. It comprises three

distinct entities: the African Development Bank (AfDB), the African Development Fund (ADF) and the Nigeria

Trust Fund (NTF). On the ground in 41 African countries with an external office in Japan, the Bank contributes

to the economic development and the social progress of its 54 regional member states. www.afdb.org 3

RENEWABLE ENERGY MARKET ANALYSIS

AND ITS REGIONS

Africa is at a crossroads. For many of the people of this vast and diverse continent, access to affordable, clean and

sustainable energy remains an aspiration. The need for better and more abundant energy is evident in many walks of life,

from households relying on dirty fuels for cooking and farmers lacking energy to harvest their crops, and from health

clinics struggling to power operating rooms to businesses contending with power outages. Climate change is fast adding

new challenges in the form of extreme weather events, rising temperatures and more variable rainfall.

We know that renewable energy can help to resolve many of these social, economic, health and environmental

challenges. Renewables are key to overcoming energy poverty, providing energy services without damaging human

health or ecosystems, and enabling sustainable socio-economic development. As this report shows, a transition to a

renewables-based energy system in Africa promises substantial gains in GDP, employment, and human welfare in each

of the continent"s constitutive regions.

Although Africa"s share of global renewable energy investments and capacity installations remained relatively small over

the past decade, the continent can draw on a vast wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal resource potential. Falling costs are

increasingly bringing renewables within reach, whether through grid extension, mini-grids or stand-alone applications.

A profound energy transition centred on renewables and energy efficiency is increasingly understood as not only feasible

but essential for a climate-safe future in which sustainable development prerogatives are met. In fact, a sophisticated

understanding of the intimate connections between the energy system and the economy at large is essential in designing

policies, along with an appreciation of the ways in which both are linked to the world"s ecosystems and human wellbeing.

Experience around the world gives us a strong sense of what it takes to succeed. As this report makes clear, African

policymakers can draw on a wealth of experience in planning, financing, and deploying renewable energy projects, and

integrating them into energy systems. But as is true in other parts of the world, it is critical that each African country play

to its own strengths and understand its weaknesses, whether in terms of its industrial capacities, commodity and trade

dependencies, or skills base. Countries can and must learn from each other. Intra-regional and broader international

cooperation can overcome drawbacks any individual country may face on its own.

A wide-ranging challenge demands a comprehensive policymaking approach. This report illuminates the array of policy

areas that may contribute to a successful energy transition. But rather than picking policies selectively, they all need to

be part of an overarching, holistic framework that is more than just the sum of its parts.

The growing discourse on a Green Deal in places like Europe and North America has spotlighted the importance of a bold,

systemic approach. A Green Deal will of necessity look different in Africa, tailored to its own circumstances. But the key

point is its transformative nature: pursuing synergies in resolving pressing social, economic, health, and environmental

issues, recognising that because market-driven approaches alone will not suffice strong public interventions are needed,

and placing people at the centre of the transition. The objectives of Africa"s energy transition are far-reaching economic diversification; the creation of decent jobs; environmental stewardship and climate resilience; and universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy. A comprehensive policy package, as detailed in this report, must be underpinned by strong institutions and adequate financial resources, assisted by international collaboration, and supported by communities on the ground. This report offers policymakers and the interested public a wealth of data, insights, and policy recommendations. It is my hope that it will also prove to be an inspiration, helping to spark the energy transition and driving the continent"s sustainable development.
