Making Room for Renewables in Sub-Saharan Africa

Generation oversupply, not enough transmission, and offtaker risk are just a few challenges facing clean energy developers in Sub-Saharan Africa. Despite these obstacles, projects continue to get built a faster rate than almost anywhere in the world. This week, Switched On speaks with energy analyst Antoine Vagneur-Jones, from BloombergNEF's EMEA team, about clean energy proliferation in this region, what's driving it, and what developers should pay attention to when exploring opportunities there. This episode is based on a report titled Sub-Saharan Africa Market Outlook 2020. BNEF clients can access this report on bnef.com or BNEF Mobile, or at BNEF on the Bloomberg Terminal. Switched On is hosted this week by Mark Taylor and Dana Perkins. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
