How African Cities Can Triple Their Energy Output as Population Grows
A new report from the World Bank has predicted that the population of African cities will triple by 2060, and with this increase in population will come an increase in energy demand. The report states that the urban energy demand of African cities will be three times higher than it is today, and this could have significant impacts on the environment, infrastructure, and economies of these cities. To meet this growing demand, the World Bank recommends that African cities focus on renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, and hydropower, and invest in energy-saving technologies, such as energy-efficient buildings, low-carbon transport systems, and renewable energy storage systems. This increased focus on renewable energy sources, as well as energy efficiency, could help reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable development in African cities.
