Unmatched Potential in Africa's Energy Landscape
Africa presents a compelling opportunity for renewable energy investments:
- Demographic Advantage: Home to one of the fastest-growing and youngest populations globally, Africa is expected to account for 50% of projected global population growth between 2018 and 2040.
- Rich Solar Resources: The continent boasts the richest solar resources on the planet, yet only 5 GW of photovoltaics have been installed—less than 1% of global capacity.
- Surging Demand for Renewables: Total energy demand for renewables in Africa is forecasted to grow at an impressive 16.1% CAGR from 2018 to 2040.
- Significant Solar Growth Potential: The IEA projects that solar PV electricity generation in Africa will grow by approximately 550 TWh during the same period, highlighting immense opportunity for expansion.
ACES Renewables is positioned to unlock this potential, driving impactful growth in Africa’s renewable energy sector.
Our projects offer robust financial returns with a relatively high internal rate of return (IRR), ensuring strong potential for investors while mitigating risks.
Africa's population is expected to account for 50% of global population growth between 2020 and 2040.
