Création d'emplois verts grâce aux solutions d’ERD en Afrique de l’Ouest

A fact sheet by the Alliance for Renewable Electrification (ARE) and Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) highlighting the potential for decentralized renewable energy (DRE) to create over 40,000 direct jobs in Ghana and Senegal by 2030. It emphasizes that DRE creates more jobs than fossil fuels or large-scale renewables and provides a pathway to formal employment for women, youth, and informal workers. The document outlines policy recommendations for West African governments, including VAT exemptions for equipment, carbon finance exploration, and gender-inclusive energy policies.

• Decentralized renewable energy (DRE) is more effective at job creation than fossil fuels or large-scale renewable energy projects, offering a point of entry into the formal economy for youth, women, and informal workers.
• If Ghana and Senegal meet their 2030 renewable energy targets, the DRE sector could generate over 40,000 direct jobs, with specific projections of 15,465 jobs in Ghana and approximately 12,269 jobs in Senegal.
• DRE solutions are identified as the most cost-effective method for electrifying rural areas in Ghana and Senegal, where the majority of the 9.9 million people without electricity reside.
• To support DRE growth, the document recommends several policy initiatives for West African governments, including VAT exemptions for components like batteries and inverters, the establishment of dedicated rural electrification agencies, and the use of carbon finance via voluntary carbon markets.
