Abstract

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of research on African energy transitions and pinpoints critical questions that require answering to allow science-based policymaking. It both highlights unique elements of energy transitions research in the African context, and explains why these need deeper investigation to enable decisions informed by clear and objective country-specific analysis. In doing so, it pinpoints clear areas of future study that are urgently needed at the country level to enable science-informed policy.
