Utilizing Sustainable Green Energy In Africa

By Rosella Campbell


Africa has been going through a lot of problems historically and one main problem is the one of insufficient power resources. There are still persons in Africa who lack access to electricity at the present day hence long term solutions should be set up to solve this issue. There is countless sustainable green energy in Africa. All they need to discover is how this potential can be tapped into beneficial power.

There are states in the African land that have loads of power that can be enough to support the whole inhabitants. However, there are other states that are not that fortunate and they lack valuable power resources like wind and water masses. Numerous countries have capitalized in their ecological power resources so as to generate power that is adequate to assist them in the industrial and domestic perspectives.

It is true that Africa has not been able to tap most of its power. The best way that these nations can make sure that they work on the potential power they are rich in is by coming together. They can come up with better strategies if they are working together and this will help come up with the best methods of utilizing this power. The financial institutions and banks also have a big role to play in financing these strategies.

Research has been done in the past and has shown that the potential power in Africa is enough to sustain them both domestically and commercially for a very long period of time if only it is fully utilized. Various countries in the continent have the potential to generate a huge amount of power. Renewable energy is also useful but it cannot sustain them for a long time on its own.

There are some nations that are already enjoying the cheap energy because they were wise enough to set up their systems when the economy was not as expensive as it is now. High costs of setting up the power systems are a huge setback for the nations that are trying in these economic times.

The states that are situated along the coastal areas of Africa normally have the benefit of getting lots of electricity. This is because the areas normally have wind in very high speeds of even beyond 12 m/s which is capable of producing lots of power to assist in sustaining these republics for a substantial period of time. Other nations that are not blessed with this benefit may be situated along the rift and this is a good location for the production of geothermal electricity.

The northern counties of the African landmass have been established to have the capacity to generate renewable power. An example of what they have been creating for a long span of time is coal. This energy is however very costly to tap hence the other best choice can be the exploitation of supportable green energy for sufficient electricity.

It is the task of each specific individual to play a part in reaching this aim of exploitation of their power. It is the responsibility of the regimes and the inhabitants to make sure that power efficiency are used fully. Power agencies must be formed to make sure this aim is achieved in the shortest time possible.
