Africa's clean energy sector is advancing rapidly, from solar-powered villages to large-scale wind and solar farms. Africa holds vast, underutilized renewable energy potential—solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal—but is now investing in renewable energy and consolidating its share of global clean energy consumption. Though the continent is making great strides toward a greener future, it still faces significant challenges in transitioning to clean energy.

The South African public pension fund has been accomplishing this in several ways. The GEPF has invested in start-ups that add solar, wind, or biogas to South Africa’s grid, either as a sole or co-financier, since 2014.
