European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has announced a €545 million Team Europe package to accelerate Africa’s clean energy transition. The EU, through its Global Gateway investment plan, is committed to supporting Africa in harnessing its renewable energy potential, which includes solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power. The €545 million package will expand Team Europe’s efforts across Africa, funding projects to improve electrification, modernize power grids, and increase access to renewable energy. In October, the Global Gateway Forum in Brussels will convene stakeholders from governments, financial institutions, and the private sector to further support Africa’s clean energy transition. This initiative, combined with upcoming G20 commitments, aims to drive the partnerships and financing necessary to advance renewable energy deployment across the continent.
