Electricity Lawyer is pleased to introduce its novel Africa Energy Transition Tracker Tool to assess the progress of countries across Sub-Saharan Africa in meeting their respective Renewable Energy (RE) targets and attendant energy transition goals. With the aid of the International Energy Agency (IEA) pathways as a benchmark for the selected parameters, the configuration of the tracker allows the RE targets of countries to be monitored in relation to each nation's financial investments, alongside the associated energy production/electricity generation from fossil fuels, in comparison with the corresponding investments in renewable energy and the attendant energy production/electricity generation from renewables. The identified parameters were informed by the IEA's position that a country or region's energy-related carbon emissions are the most comprehensive clean energy transition indicator. As a result, many nations with renewable energy targets, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and energy transition plans prioritize energy production; because it accounts for majority of greenhouse gas emissions. This is in addition to the fact that financial investments are a main driver of energy transition plans. Electricity Lawyer is available to assist interested stakeholders in measuring and monitoring progress/regress in this regard on an ongoing basis. For more information, kindly [email protected]
