FLASH: China-Africa solar pipeline reaches 7.4GW

Mysteel reported that China and African countries recorded 42 solar projects with 7.4GW of capacity under renewable-energy cooperation from 2023 to 2026. They formed the largest technology group within nearly 100 projects totalling 17GW across solar, hydropower and wind. Separately, completed China-Africa cooperation has built more than 1.5GW of photovoltaic stations, with related transmission lines covering more than 40 African countries.
