The African Energy Commission (AFREC), as the African Union’s specialised energy agency, has developed a Comprehensive Capacity Building Programme to address critical skills and knowledge gaps in Africa’s energy sector. Based on continent-wide assessments, surveys, and expert analysis, the Programme identifies priority areas such as energy efficiency, renewable integration, regulatory frameworks, financing, and electricity infrastructure.

Solar energy resources throughout Africa are very rich and highly available. The regions with the most abundant solar energy resources are the Sahara region, the Ethiopian Plateau and the South African Plateau.

The Paris Agreement establishes a clear goal to limit the increase of global temperature to “well below” 2 °C, and ideally to 1.5 °C, compared to pre-industrial levels, by this century. To realise this climate target, a profound transformation of the global energy landscape is essential.

The vast majority of African countries have net-zero emission targets under discussion, and only South Africa has given a policy document. Last year Nigeria also gave a pledge.

The great significance of promoting distributed PV in the BRI countries.

Global oil and gas are basically stable, coal is decreasing, and clean energy represents the main component of the increase.

Based on the new generation of information technologies such as "cloud, big data, Internet of Things, mobile and intelligence(smartness), "power system, as the Center, can be closely coupled with natural gas network, heating network, industrial, transportation and building systems, for horizontal "complementation of diversity sources" of electricity, gas, heat and renewable energy, and vertical high synergy of "energy, power grid, load and storage" to form an energy service network (service) of two-way interactive concentration and distribution of production and consumption for clean, low-c

The instruments, methods, and precision required for on-line operation inspection and measurement and performance evaluation methods, equipment layout schemes required for the actual operation of the key equipment of large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power generation system are still under research. The methods for data comparison analysis and performance evaluation on actual operation are restricted, resulting in it impossible to carry out scientific and effective evaluation on existing photovoltaic power stations.
