A report by Power Shift Africa and the University of Technology Sydney reveals that Africa could save $5 trillion by transitioning to a fully renewable energy system by 2050, leveraging its vast solar, wind, and hydropower potential to meet future energy demand 180 times over while generating 5.4 million jobs, eliminating fuel imports, and securing long-term carbon storage—though achieving this requires overcoming structural barriers like limited clean-tech financing and high debt through global financial reforms and decentralized energy solutions.
