📋 Tender Overview
At COP28, world leaders committed to tripling global renewable energy capacity by the end of this decade to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to cleaner, more sustainable energy. Urgent action is needed to meet these targets. Africa holds 60% of the worlds best solar resources, offering a significant opportunity for renewable energy. Despite this, the continent attracts only 3% of global energy investment, and some 600 million people, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, still lack access to electricity.
That is why the European Commission and the Republic of South Africa together with Global Citizen have launched a year-long Scaling up Renewables in Africa pledging campaign. It will mobilise public and private investments to accelerate renewable energy projects across and help people of Africa have access to affordable energy and help cut global emissions.
