In July of this year, POWERCHINA signed EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) and O&M (Operation and Maintenance) contracts for the 123-megawatt Damlaagte Photovoltaic (PV) Project in South Africa, which hold significant implications for local energy transition.
At the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, a project was launched to promote more small, innovative, clean energy projects between China and Africa. The project primarily focuses on small and medium-sized solar projects in under-developed regions of Africa.
At the first African Climate Summit in September 2023, China announced that it would launch an "Africa Solar Belt" program with 100 million yuan (about 14 million U.S. dollars) in funding for solar projects in regions not served by main electrical grids. The program aims to support at least 50,000 families.
The Sahara Desert's vast sunlight makes it ideal for developing the photovoltaic industry, while Africa's extensive coastline provides perfect conditions for offshore wind energy development. In some remote African villages, photovoltaic panels are used to develop small solar power stations that provide electricity to nearby households.
The perspective is shared by Yang Baorong, a researcher at the China-Africa Institute, who said that China provides Africa with high-quality and affordable green energy technologies and products, making them accessible to more African people.
