The expansion of renewable energies in Africa is far too low given the favourable conditions such as good solar radiation. It is arguable whether Fair Grid is the most appropriate means of securing power and disseminating renewable energy. However, in the age of accelerated climate change, it should be clear to anyone that there is an urgent need for some kind of (EEG) or other incentives for renewable energy sources in Africa and other regions around the world. If the promotion of renewable energies is necessary in Europe, how can the energy transition succeed in Africa without funding?
