Soldera Markets is delighted to host Tony Tiyou, CEO of Renewables in Africa, to explore the growing African renewable energy landscape.
This Episode Covers:
→ The evolving African renewable energy certificates (RECs) market→ Growth patterns showing doubling volumes year-on-year→ How only 17 of 54 African countries currently participate in I-REC systems→ Pricing differences between African markets ($1-5/MWh) versus other regions→ The challenges of grid integration for large-scale renewable projects
Key Insights:
→ African I-REC volumes reaching 3.5 million MWh in 2024→ The untapped potential in distributed energy resources→ How African renewables have lower default rates than comparable U.S. investments→ The critical need for international capital in project development→ Why solar makes economic sense beyond environmental benefits
Special Focus on African Energy Development:→ The economic impact of unreliable power on businesses→ How solar adoption is growing rapidly without government subsidies→ The push for local manufacturing of renewable components→ Regional integration through AfCFTA and pan-African energy initiatives→ The continent's vast solar potential (currently just 2% of global capacity)
