Wind energy in Africa and the Middle East will be an important technology to produce cost-competitive, sustainable energy, transform the region’s energy system to ensure access to modern electricity for all, create long-term jobs and drive further investments to power local economic growth. The market for wind energy has been steadily growing over the past decade, and a surge in growth is on the horizon as a mature pipeline of projects comes into place and government initiatives such as South Africa’s IRP 2019 pave the way for market growth.
