  • Johannesburg Johannesburg, GP South Africa (map)

Africa boasts abundant renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal, offering vast potential for clean energy generation. Rapid population growth and urbanisation are driving increased energy demand, providing a significant market for renewable energy solutions.

Investing in renewable energy aligns with global climate goals and presents opportunities for investors to contribute to mitigating climate change while generating returns. Innovative financing mechanisms such as public-private partnerships, impact investing, and green bonds are emerging to address financing challenges and attract investment. Despite the many challenges in Africa’s renewables sector, the potential cannot be understated.

Join us as our experts assess what stakeholders need to collaborate and develop supportive policies, improve access to finance, build technical capacity, and promote innovation in renewable energy technologies and business models.
