Plano de Recuperação Justa de Energias Renováveis para África

The report argues for a systemic shift in Africa's energy landscape, moving away from fossil fuels toward a decentralized, community-owned system of 100% renewable energy by 2050. Based on modeling by Dr. Sven Teske, the plan estimates a need for 360 GW of capacity by 2030 and 2,280 GW by 2050, requiring an average annual investment of $130 billion. This transition is projected to create 7 million jobs by 2050. The document emphasizes 'energy sovereignty' and 'energy as a common good,' calling for the cancellation of African debt, the end of illicit financial flows, and the fulfillment of climate finance promises by developed nations to fund the transition.

• Africa faces severe energy poverty, with approximately half of the Sub-Saharan population lacking electricity and nearly 900 million people relying on traditional biomass for cooking.
• The proposed energy transition targets a capacity of over 300 GW of new renewables by 2030 and more than 2,000 GW by 2050 to achieve a 100% renewable Africa.
• Technical modeling for a 1.5°C scenario projects a required installed capacity of 360 GW by 2030 and 2,280 GW by 2050, with an average annual investment requirement of $130 billion (including heating).
• A transition to 100% renewable energy is estimated to create over 5 million jobs by 2030 and 7 million jobs by 2050 in sectors including production, construction, and maintenance.
• The plan advocates for a decentralized energy system where solar photovoltaic (PV) is the dominant technology, supplemented by wind, concentrated solar power (CSP), and existing hydroelectric facilities.
• The document identifies three primary funding sources to finance the transition: fulfilling developed nations' climate finance commitments, canceling African debt, and eliminating illicit financial flows and tax evasion.
• Africa loses significant annual revenue to tax evasion and illicit flows, with estimates ranging from $50 billion to $100 billion for tax evasion and up to $89 billion through illicit financial flows.
• The report calls for a 'feminist just transition' that recognizes women as primary energy users and innovators, arguing that gender equity is often neglected in national energy policies.
