Africa stands at a crossroads in its journey toward an energy transition framed by climate impacts, increased demands, and the drive for sustainable development. This article looks landscape of continent, emphasizing regional differences, infrastructure development, geopolitical factors. North is making progress integrating renewable nuclear new futures, while state affairs sub-saharan hampered feeble economies unstable governance. It emphasizes need to invest forms, especially solar, wind green hydrogen, question supply meet increasing demand. Major challenges still exist money — missing infrastructure, financial gaps public scepticism. further underscores role partnerships outside namely BRICS China, they playin developing Africa’s future through technology finance transfer. also explores potential mining critical minerals, which are crucial technology, as well social, economic environmental issues associated with extraction. Infrastructure development becomes linchpin access prosperity while, public-private regulatory reform become facilitators. The report concludes that transformative but will require coordinated inclusive efforts governance, financing deliver equitable continent.

The escalating demand for water, energy, and food, coupled with the imperative sustainable development, necessitates innovative solutions to address complex interdependencies within water–energy–food nexus. In this context, agriculture photovoltaics (Agri-PV or Agri–voltaics) systems have emerged as a promising approach promoting agricultural practices while enhancing energy efficiency food production. However, limited research, especially on technical aspects of Agri-PV, has resulted in knowledge gap regarding how model determine suitability Agri-PV different crops based local conditions. This study presents novel modeling simulating various major developing countries, using Uzbekistan case study. It provides blueprint selecting suitable systems. research investigates feasibility technology tailored Uzbekistan’s landscape, broader implications Central Asia. Employing systematic methodology, begins by appropriate sites system testing, ensuring relevance applicability findings context. Using advanced software tools such PVSyst, accurately calculates photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) values specific selected crops, bridging significant providing empirical data essential informed decision making. methodology further incorporates an in-depth analysis economic considerations PV modules inverters, scientific accuracy By strategically parameters like row density, module distance, tilt angle, aims optimize integration photovoltaic Uzbekistan. Moreover, helps understand impact nexus, valuable insights into potential benefits challenges region. identifies positive design farming practices.
