President William Ruto has raised concerns over the underfunding of Africa’s renewable energy development. The President said Africa possesses the highest untapped potential of renewable energy reserves in the world but had only managed 3 gigawatts of the global increase. He said Kenya had made tremendous efforts in renewable and clean energy, adding that the country’s power grid is 93% green. The President said Africa launched the Africa Green Industrialisation Initiative at COP28 to promote the growth of clean energy manufacturing. He said this potential puts the continent at an advantage to seize the economic opportunities within the global energy transition.
