The Southern Africa region has a high potential for the use of renewable energy sources such as hydro, solar, and wind power. However, renewable energy resources are unevenly distributed and the region is unable to fully utilize renewable energy as a whole. Furthermore, with the future growth of electricity demand in the Southern Africa region, peak demand is projected to reach 85,000 MW by 2040. In order to provide clean and affordable electricity and improve access to electricity in the long term, it is essential to promote the development of renewable energy sources and the integration of electricity sharing within the region.
