IEA Delivers Fresh Solar Photovoltaic Outlook For Sub-Saharan Africa

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has published a revised solar photovoltaic outlook for sub-Saharan Africa. 
According to its Renewables 2026 report, published on Friday, November 6, the IEA, lowered its forecast for new utility-scale solar capacity additions by nearly 7 gigawatts (GW) over the 2026–2031 period.
The downward revision comes despite an improved outlook for renewable energy across the region.
The agency however expects sub-Saharan Africa to add more than 120 GW of renewable energy capacity between 2026 and 2031, nearly doubling its currently installed capacity.
Solar photovoltaic installations are expected to account for more than 80% of these additions under th...
