Abstract

The chapter addresses the critical challenge of transitioning to clean energy, notably in developing countries. It emphasizes the need for resources, technologies, and effective policies for this transition. A key focus is on technical advancements aiding Africa's shift to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal. The chapter examines technological solutions such as energy storage, smart grids, and blockchain for the energy transition. It assesses the role of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in advancing sustainable energy technology in Africa. PPPs contribute to research, development, and implementation of these technologies. The chapter reviews policy and regulatory frameworks for adopting renewable energy technologies. It discusses the potential and challenges of these frameworks in Africa.
