The world’s energy consumption and demand is increasing exponentially. While this appears to hold hope for Africa, the reality is that Africa is still trapped in darkness when it comes to energy production and distribution.
Edited by Thokozani Simelane and Mohamed Abdel-rahman.
Of critical concern is that the world’s supply of fos¬sil fuels and its reserves are decreasing and locating new reserves has become difficult. This shift in energy sources pose a challenge and opportunity for Africa, as it will need substantial investment in infrastructure, technology and human capital for Africa to catch up with the in-ternational trends of generating and supplying energy from renewable sources. Of greater ad-vantage is that Africa is endowed with abundant sources of renewable energy, which if exploit-ed maximally can place Africa in the forefront of the world’s energy production and supply.
