  • I’m not saying it will stay in that way. I’m just disappointed, that this number is not way higher, when comparing to e.g. Germany.

    And I would even say it’s the interest of developed countries (as they would have a stake in it, thus profiting from it). I’m not fond of a new form of colonialism (and I would grant them the sole energetic advantage they have of their location), but right now we just need to pivot as fast as possible, colonialism/“globalization” or not…


  • While this sounds like a solid increase. It’s so much lower than it could be. Germany alone did 14.1GW in 2023 and doesn’t have a very good location compared to most of Africa. (nor does it have that many people).

    I hope developed countries are using a lot more of their resources/invest a lot more into solar energy in Africa (e.g. via desertec). It would help both parties, and leads to more stable energy source throughout the year in the northern hemisphere.
