AfDB approves USD-49.9m grant for solar-plus-storage in Eritrea
The African Development Bank (AfDB) said on Thursday it had approved a USD-49.92-million (EUR 45.7m) grant for the construction of a grid-connected solar farm with a battery energy
The world is at the tipping point for bolder steps and immediate aggressive actions. Eritrea, a country with negligible emission contribution, can potentially lead the way to secure a safe and sustainable future by taking a different path from previous development trajectories.
It is also working towards raising the share of electricity generation from renewable energy. According to the 2019 World Bank Global Electrification Database, 50.3 percent of Eritreans have access to electricity, with electrification reaching 75.6 percent and 36.6 percent of the urban and rural population, respectively.
Consequently, Eritrea's energy transition should be informed by multidimensional pathways that respond to diverse realities and are critical to sustaining implementation and adaptability. The world is at the tipping point for bolder steps and immediate aggressive actions.
Despite these challenges, Eritrea's accession to the global environment and energy conventions are among the country's attempts to reverse the worsening climatic trends.
