A Renewable Energy Roadmap for African Cities
The aim of this guide is to assist Cities to develop a renewable energy roadmap, which incorporates renewable energy into the energy mix over time and ensures the collaboration of stakeholders and coordination of investments. It draws upon the experience of Sub-Saharan African cities in understanding energy demand and the learnings of eThekwini Municipality, which recently developed a Renewable Energy Roadmap.
