The crisis is affecting energy systems around the world, and presents North African countries with an imperative to re‑evaluate energy strategies and accelerate clean energy transitions in planning their economic recovery.
Energy access: North African countries have already achieved near-universal access to electricity and clean cooking (SDG 7.1) thanks to effective public policies promoting major grid extensions, dedicated rural electrification programmes, and the expansion of gas networks and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) distribution.
Over the last decade, renewable electricity in North Africa has grown more than 40%, driven by the rapid expansion of wind, solar photovoltaic and solar thermal. Renewables play a minor role in the transport sector across the region, with still few electric vehicles that can use renewable power and low levels of biofuels.
There are also opportunities for North Africa’s important oil and gas sector to adapt and contribute to accelerating the region’s clean energy transitions.
