Africa plays a crucial role in the global energy transition, with legal frameworks being essential to drive investments in the renewable energy sector. Rwanda's success in accelerating renewable energy investments through its Energy Feed in Tariff regulations serves as a model for other African countries to create an enabling environment for such investments. The adoption of global legal treaties like the UNFCCC is crucial for African nations to fast-track renewable energy investments and achieve sustainability goals. Additionally, key legal agreements like the African Free Trade Continental Agreement (AfCFTA) and the Convention of the African Energy Commission are pivotal in enhancing energy capabilities and facilitating renewable energy investments across the continent. Furthermore, private sector engagement, as exemplified by Coscharis Technologies Limited's $4 billion project in Nigeria, showcases the potential for large-scale renewable energy investments in Africa. Legislation can play a significant role in promoting renewable energy investments by stipulating budget allocations for climate change, requiring banks to provide loans for renewable projects, offering tax incentives, and ensuring community welfare at project sites. By incorporating these legal mechanisms, African countries can attract more investments, accelerate sustainable development, and ensure the success of their energy transition efforts.
