China's involvement in Africa's energy sector and its critics can be roughly divided into two stages.
The ongoing Africa Solar Belt program, for example, underscores this commitment, with China pledging at least 100 million yuan (about $14 million) in public funds from 2024 to 2027 to power 50,000 households in Africa with off-grid solar systems.
Another recent criticism is that China does not have significant investment in non-hydro renewables in Africa compared to other energy sectors , despite it being a global leader of wind and solar energy investment domestically and Africa's huge untapped potential in renewable resources .
Addressing Africa's energy challenges and accelerating its transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy are crucial for global climate action. As Africa’s key trading and investment partners, China and the European Union can play an important role in supporting the continent’s energy transition.
