Africa using only ‘very small’ percentage of wind power potential – GWEC

Africa is utilising less than 1% of its wind power potential, which is “very, very, very little”, says Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) Africa director Wangari Muchiri. A new report released at Windaba 2023 this week shows that the continent has 9 GW of wind energy installed, but that the potential hovers around 33 000 GW.
