November’s project pipeline reveals Africa’s clean power transition is now system-led, not just capacity-led.

Analysis of recent generation, storage, transmission, and distribution projects across African power markets points to a clear inflection in how energy systems are being developed. The focus is shifting away from headline capacity additions toward system design, resilience, and deliverability.

Solar-led projects dominated new announcements, including hybrid configurations, yet storage pairing remained selective, highlighting persistent grid flexibility constraints.

9.8 GW of major generation programmes announced across Africa (DRC 4 GW, Botswana 3 GW, Tunisia 2.8 GW).

7 of 15 solar projects announced in November included battery energy storage, signalling rapid hybridisation.
