A report from U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) assesses the wind and solar potential of Africa. According to the study, the two technologies can play a major role in the energy economy of the continent, especially if strategic siting and international interconnections are implemented.Solar and wind will be able to gain more market share in the African energy economy only if strategic siting and international interconnections are considered by governments.
These are the main conclusions of the report "Strategic siting and regional grid interconnections key to low-carbon futures in African countries", which was released by the US Department of Energy's Berkeley Lab.
The study, which assesses the potential of solar and wind in 21 countries which belong to the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) or the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP), was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
