AEEP2020Targets
TrackingdevelopmentsintheAfricanenergysector
•  80% of electric power in Africa is generated from fossil fuel
•  Over 80% of African population depends on biomass for cooking
Renewables:
•  Hydroelectric power (HEP) remains the dominant RE technology supplying African
grids. Between 2010 and 2015, 2,174MW of HEP capacity was added bringing the total
to 35.18GW by end of 2015.
•  Solar capacity has enjoyed exponential success installed capacity at end-2015 was
1,546MW, compared with 103MW in 2010.
•  Wind power since 2010, 2,132MW of wind power has been added, more than doubling
the 2010 capacity of 1,120MW and a project pipeline suggests of adding 5,000MW by
2020 if 43% of the planned projects are completed on time.
•  Other renewable technologies show that some biomass in 2015 had capacity –
950MW compared to geothermal with 554MW – geothermal capacity is anticipated to
increase in 2017-18 because of the GRMF.
