RE&EE: Africa s Hope? In 2011, the total investments in renewable energy in Africa rose from $750 million in 2004 to $3.6 billion. By 2020, this sum is expected to grow to $57 billion a staggering 1,58% increase in nine short years. Will Africa be able to do what it takes to ensure itsenergy future? Modest starts in renewable energy have begun Windpower projects in Africa are underway in Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Tunisia, and Tanzania including Kenya's 0.3 gigawatt Lake Turkana project and 0.7 gigawatt of capacity under constructioninin Morocco, while Cameroon, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda all have existing biomass power capacity or plans for future development. www.ecreee.org
