Study on innovative financing mechanisms for renewable energy projects in North Africa

The energy mixes of African countries are progressively including renewable energy contributions, which have significantly increased, given the technological maturity and advances in recent years. However, the development of renewable energies requires the implementation of coherent institutional, regulatory and incentive frameworks and involves significant funding due to the additional costs of the required initial capital investment for the technology (including wind power, solar thermal and photovoltaic).
