Energy
Research and materials addressing key issues on energy from an African perspective.
Addressing the issue of limited access to energy is key to building a more sustainable Africa. Energy for cooking and lighting and other basic needs is a challenge for many households in Africa, despite the continent’s immense potential to generate and supply renewable energy. If efficiently harnessed, the four key renewable energy technologies of hydropower, biomass, wind and solar energy are more than enough to meet the growing energy needs.
The Foundation has produced a range of research and materials addressing key issues on energy, including renewable energy from an African perspective. You can find our resources on this page.
