This systematic review synthesizes 15 empirical studies on renewable energy deployment across Africa. It finds rapid growth in solar and wind, yet hydropower dominates capacity, and geothermal remains underdeveloped. Barriers include inadequate infrastructure, limited finance, and policy inconsistency. Opportunities lie in declining costs, decentralized systems, and regional cooperation.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract Renewable energy in Africa has gained increasing attention as a strategic pathway to achieving sustainable development, energy security, and economic transformation. A structured search of peer-reviewed studies was conducted using Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest. Fifteen empirical studies met the strict PRISMA inclusion criteria for detailed systematic synthesis, while additional high-quality review articles, book chapters, and policy reports were incorporated to strengthen contextual interpretation of renewable energy deployment trends across Africa. This systematic review synthesizes empirical evidence on renewable energy deployment across the continent, focusing on trends, challenges, and opportunities. Africa is endowed with abundant solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass resources, yet actual utilization remains uneven and limited, with solar and wind experiencing the most rapid growth in recent years. Hydropower continues to dominate installed capacity, while geothermal and emerging technologies remain largely underdeveloped. Persistent barriers to deployment include inadequate grid infrastructure, limited access to finance, policy and regulatory inconsistencies, institutional capacity constraints, and political instability, particularly in rural and decentralized systems. Despite these challenges, opportunities exist in the form of declining technology costs, growing private and international investment, expansion of decentralized energy systems, and regional cooperation initiatives. Strengthening policy implementation, improving governance coordination, investing in infrastructure and human capital, and promoting innovative financing mechanisms are critical to accelerating Africa’s renewable energy transition.
