Beneath its soils lie the lithium, cobalt, graphite, manganese, nickel and rare earth minerals that will power electric vehicles, batteries and renewable energy systems across the globe. Kenya is frequently showcased as one of Africa’s renewable energy success stories. South Africa’s Just Energy Transition Partnership (JET-P) for example illustrates another important lesson. The future of Africa’s energy transition should not be determined solely in boardrooms, ministries or international climate negotiations.
