UNE RELANCE DURABLE GRÂCE AUX ÉNERGIES RENOUVELABLES POUR LES PAYS D’AFRIQUE

The report highlights the critical energy gap in Africa, where 565 million people lack electricity and 900 million lack clean cooking solutions. It proposes that governments allocate up to 25% of recovery budgets to renewables and localize 30% of the value chain to stimulate GDP and job creation. The document details the socio-economic benefits of sustainable energy in health, agriculture, and gender equality, while providing a framework of eight catalysts—including the removal of fossil fuel subsidies and the implementation of cost-reflective tariffs—to accelerate the transition, using India as a successful comparative example.

• Africa faces significant energy deficits, with an estimated 565 million people lacking electricity and 900 million lacking access to clean cooking solutions.
• Achieving universal electricity access in Africa by 2030 would require an annual infrastructure investment of approximately 29 billion USD, while clean cooking solutions require an annual investment of 2 billion USD.
• The report suggests that African nations could allocate 25% of their economic recovery budgets to renewable energies (solar, hydro, wind, and geothermal) and aim to localize 30% of the associated value chain to enhance energy security.
• Investments in sustainable energy provide high economic returns, with every 1 USD invested in the energy transition expected to increase GDP by 0.93 USD, and clean cooking investments yielding a 9 USD return for every 1 USD spent.
• Renewable energy investments are more effective at job creation than fossil fuels, creating 3.5 times more jobs for the same investment level; specifically, 1 million USD in utility-scale solar in Africa creates about 80 jobs.
• Sustainable energy significantly improves health and agriculture: solar-powered primary health clinics in Chhattisgarh, India, saw a 62% increase in monthly births, and access to one piece of electric processing equipment can increase smallholder agricultural yields by 30%.
• The report identifies eight catalysts for a sustainable recovery, including improving the ease of doing business, removing fossil fuel subsidies, implementing cost-reflective tariffs, and declaring moratoria on new coal energy.
• India is presented as a model for the Global South, having expanded electricity access to 374 million additional people through policies like the National Solar Mission and the Electricity Act of 2003, which simplified mini-grid installation.
