Africa Renewable Energy Capacity Expansion

under construction/progressing

Africa's energy transition is progressing with renewable energy capacity expanding alongside fossil fuels. Renewable energy is projected to account for approximately 46% of Africa's total installed power capacity by 2035, up from 28% in 2025. However, its contribution to actual power generation is expected to remain below 50% due to grid integration and storage limitations. Investments in enabling infrastructure such as energy storage and grid modernization are underway but concentrated in limited markets, with South Africa leading deployment.
