6 FAQs about [Africa solar power project]

How will Africa's solar power capacity change over the next decade?

With Africa seeking to fast-track the diversification of its energy mix in pursuit of energy security, decarbonization and affordability, the continent’s solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity is expected to gradually rise through the next decade with countries such as Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia and Botswana leading new project developments.

Could solar power reshape Africa's energy landscape?

The potential for solar in sub-Saharan Africa is immense. IRENA estimates the region could generate up to 10 terawatts (TW) of solar power. With adoption rates expected to exceed 20 percent annually through 2025, as projected by the International Energy Agency (IEA), solar could reshape Africa’s energy landscape.

Why did South Africa adopt a solar energy storage system?

South Africa led the adoption of storage solutions, driven by frequent power outages and the need for reliable electricity supply. Utility-scale projects across the continent also increasingly integrated storage, enhancing the reliability of solar energy systems.

Should Africa Invest in solar energy?

Africa is the continent with the world’s largest solar energy potential and investment is the only thing that’s keeping Africa from powering its development using this potential.

Does Africa still have solar power?

While the spread of solar energy across Africa is encouraging, a significant concentration of capacity persists. In 2024, 78 per cent of all new installations were concentrated in just two countries — South Africa and Egypt.

Does South Africa have a 540 MW solar PV project?

South Africa launched a groundbreaking 540 MW solar PV project with 1,140 MWh of battery storage in 2021, awarded to Norway’s Scatec. The project, part of South Africa’s Risk Mitigation initiative, addresses ongoing power shortages by delivering renewable, dispatchable energy.
