By 2030, Africa aims to meet nearly a quarter of its energy needs through the use of indigenous, clean and renewable energies. According to forecasts, renewable energy production in sub-Saharan Africa could reach 67% by 2030.

Projections by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) indicate that with appropriate policies, regulations, governance, and access to financial markets, renewable energy could account for up to 67% of electricity generation in sub-Saharan Africa by 2030.
“As a promising sign of things to come, several African countries have already succeeded in taking the necessary steps to develop renewable energy, such as adopting supportive policies, promoting investments and regional collaboration,” said Adnan Amin, Director General of IRENA and United Nations Assistant Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa during the 9th session of the Agency's Assembly, which was held in Abu Dhabi last year. According to him, many countries in Africa are increasingly adopting renewable energies as a means of moving to a sustainable energy future.
The intergovernmental organization responsible for facilitating cooperation, advancing knowledge and promoting the adoption and sustainable use of renewable energy reports that countries such as Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco and South Africa have shown a strong commitment to the accelerated use of modern renewable energy and are leading energy transition efforts. , while some of Africa's smallest countries, including Cape Verde, Djibouti, Rwanda, and Swaziland, have also set ambitious renewable energy targets
