In Nigeria, renewable energy would satisfy the nation’s energy needs and power sustainable economic growth, according to a new report.

The Nigerian president has announced new oil refining and exploration projects despite climate pledges made at COP27.

The Nigerian government said its new energy transition plan is a significant pathway to achieving universal energy access by 2030 and a carbon-neutral economy by 2060.

Tanzania’s ambitions for its considerable offshore natural gas resources may not include meeting requests from its neighbours to export by pipeline.

To date, no wind, solar, or geothermal projects supply Tanzania’s national grid, its condition presenting an obstacle to significant renewables development.

As Africa continues to invest in new oil and gas projects, experts have urged caution and called upon the continent’s leaders to develop adequate clean energy technology.
