  • Decarbonizing road transport is critical, but the costs and emissions of low-carbon vehicles in Africa remain uncertain. The authors show that battery electric vehicles with solar off-grid systems can cost effectively reduce life-cycle emissions well before 2040.

  • Renewable energy technologies are intended to contribute to electricity access both on grid and off grid in sub-Saharan Africa, yet their high cost of capital continues to hamper their growth. Using data from sub-Saharan Africa, Agutu et al. estimate the cost of capital at the country and technology level for electrification modes and find that the cost of capital is much higher than previously estimated in many cases.

  • Solar-powered standalone systems drastically lower the cost of electrifying sub-Saharan Africa. Household electrification can be provided at 7c USD per person per day on average. To reflect inter- and intra-country variance, policymakers should consider electrification cost curves.

  • Discussions abound regarding the future of African energy systems, yet they typically overlook the different starting points and development objectives of each country. This Perspective highlights these differences and calls for more context-specific attention to define low-carbon energy pathways.
