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.

Studies have been carried out in the past to show that there is a lot of potential power that is enough to sustain the whole continent for commercial and domestic use in a very long time. The many nations in the continent all have some potential to create large amounts of power if their resources are well utilized. They also have renewable energy but this cannot last them as long.

There are some countries that are already benefiting from cheap energy since they were intelligent enough to establish their structures when the budget was not as costly as it is presently. High cost of establishing the power structures is a huge hindrance for the countries which are establishing in these hard economic times.

The countries that are found along the African coastal regions have the potential to produce a lot of power because these areas usually have a lot of wind with speeds exceeding twelve meters per second. Wind in high speed can be used to produce more electricity to help sustain these countries. Not all countries have this advantage but those found along the rift are proven to have much potential in production of geothermal power.

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.
