The Africa Energy Transition Programme is the vision of the African Energy Commission (AFREC) for the energy development in Africa, driven by AU Agenda 2063, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Agreement on climate change. Access to affordable clean energy for productive uses and households in Africa can be achieved mainly by introducing and implementing comprehensive policy tools that can transform the African Energy Sector to mostly be based on renewable resources through an integrated approach that facilitates the transformation process and attracts the required investment.
This document represents the guiding principles for AFREC to launch and implement its continental programme on Energy Transition that will cover all African member states in phases. AFREC will work closely with different regional research institutes, experts and decision makers and International partners to coordinate the implementation of this programme in order to achieve its main objectives of transforming and developing the energy sector in a way that meets the aspiration of the African people in an environmentally and climate compatible manner.
