Reviewing gas and oil potential in the energy landscape of Africa

In their latest Africa Energy Review 2023, PwC looks at the challenges and opportunities inherent in the continent’s energy sector, positing that Africa is now emerging as a key enabler to the global energy transition. It requires a multipronged approach to decarbonisation with renewables and natural gas power at its core. It says the continent has significant renewable energy potential, particularly in the North and South, from which to develop renewable energy and become more energy secure in a sustainable net-zero manner.
