Africa is poised to become a hub for renewable energy investments, with five countries emerging as top destinations for Chinese investors. Angola, Zambia, DR Congo, Mozambique, and Uganda have been identified as offering significant untapped opportunities and a strong demand for energy investments.

The continent boasts abundant renewable energy resources, including hydro, solar, and wind power, but only 7% of its hydroelectric potential has been utilized. Financial limitations and underinvestment have hindered many African nations from fully leveraging their renewable energy capabilities. However, the entry of Chinese investors is filling the financing gap, bringing in necessary funding, technology, and expertise.

The report by Development Reimagined highlights the substantial funding gap in key sectors such as energy and transport, with African governments committing only 10% of the required amount. The influx of Chinese investment is expected to drive Africa's sustainable development and contribute to the global shift toward a low-carbon future.
