Energy Transition Strategies And Their Role In Achieving Sustainable Economic Growth: A Comparative Applied Study On Four African Countries



Authors : Djilali Toumi Hamza . Benazza Hicham .

Abstract

The study aimed to analyze energy transition strategies and their role in achieving sustainable economic growth in four major African countries by comparing their experiences and policies in the field of renewable energy. The research focuses on examining the installed capacities of renewable energy, as capacity in Egypt reached 11.8 GW in 2024, targeting 25.1 GW by 2030 to represent 30-42% of the energy mix, while Algeria plans to reach 4 GW by 2025 and 16 GW by 2035 after achieving more than 600 MW currently. Morocco has achieved 5.6 gigawatts of renewable energy and aims to exceed 15 gigawatts by 2030, constituting 52% of installed electricity capacity, with investments estimated at 110 billion dirhams ($10.6 billion), while Nigeria plans to raise the share of renewable electricity from 13% in 2015 to 23% by 2025 and 36% by 2030, with an expected capacity of 1.7 gigawatts by 2035. The study found that the clear disparity in the pace of energy transition between the four countries reflects fundamental differences in political will, financing capabilities and development strategies, as Egypt and Morocco lead the African scene with higher installed capabilities and more ambitious goals compared to Algeria and Nigeria, with expectations that this transition will contribute to promoting sustainable economic growth by saving energy, creating job opportunities, and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
