Africa is a continent rich in resources and potential, yet it faces significant challenges in accessing clean energy investments. With just 3% of global clean energy spending directed to Africa, the continent struggles to provide electricity to millions of its population, leading to high air pollution levels. The Financing Clean Energy in Africa report highlights the need for financial commitments to double to over $200 billion per year by 2030, with a focus on clean energy projects to bridge the energy access gap. Despite being home to abundant solar, hydro, wind, and mineral resources, Africa's potential remains largely untapped due to barriers like limited capital access, high credit costs, and weak regulatory environments. The upcoming Africa Energy Week in Cape Town aims to address these challenges and showcase innovative financing mechanisms, with the Economic Development Board of Mauritius playing a key role in attracting international investors for sustainable energy projects in Africa.
