Description | Africa has surpassed 20GW of operational solar capacity with an additional 10GW in the development pipeline. The continent is seeing a shift from commercial and industrial solar additions to utility-scale solar projects, which accounted for 1.7GW of new capacity in 2024. Utility-scale solar is expected to represent 70% of new capacity additions, with South Africa contributing 28% of the pipeline. Solar power is considered the ideal technology to improve electricity access in Africa, addressing the continent's electricity shortage and low electrification rate. |
