Broader data show that Africa is managing a surge in record inflows of solar panels and utility‑scale renewable activity in 2025, signaling readiness for the next generation of large projects.
| The African Energy Chamber (AEC) will host a strategic panel on “Scaling Large-Scale Energy & Infrastructure” at the upcoming G20 African Energy Investment Forum in Johannesburg. It will bring together financiers, policymakers and developers to explore how to mobilize both public and private capital to drive renewable integration and infrastructure scale-up across the continent.
Africa’s renewable sector is gaining momentum with several landmark developments supporting the case for large‑scale investment. In West Africa, for example, the Gambia River Basin Development. Organization, backed by the African Development Bank, is advancing an €880 million regional energy project featuring a 1,677‑km, 225 kV transmission line connecting The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea‑Bissau and Senegal – a move that strengthens regional integration and helps scale large‐scale infrastructure. Elsewhere, broader data show that Africa is managing a surge in record inflows of solar panels and utility‑scale renewable activity in 2025, signaling readiness for the next generation of large projects.
