Abstract

Sustainable energy projects are essential for Africa. They offer energy solutions while being environmentally responsible. This review paper shows Africa’s growth through renewable energy. Cleaner energy is guided by renewable energy sources. A look into Africa’s renewable energy sector shows innovation in solar, wind, and hydro. This completely shows Africa embracing sustainability. The energy environment in Africa is moving toward larger renewable energy projects, such as solar parks, wind farms, and hydropower dams. These projects not only provide access to energy but also protect the environment. Offering ways to reduce energy consumption is important for Africa through energy efficiency initiatives. Africa is on the path to progress. Improvements in energy storage and the integration of renewable sources will lead Africa to a sustainable future.
