The Kingdom of , which is one of the world’s largest solar energy projects and estimated to cost about $9 billion, was introduced in November 2009 with the aim of establishing 2,000 MW of solar power by 2020. Five sites have been selected for the development of solar power plants combining a number of technologies including , As a result, North Africa leads the African continent in new utility-scale wind and solar deployment, and is home to almost half of Africa’s total installed wind power generation capacity, as well as a fifth of its grid-based solar power generation capacity.

[pdf] Venezuela has set a target to generate 85% electricity from RE sources by 2030 under the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 7 Venezuela Development Plan for the National Electric System aims to integrate RE by including it in both the medium- term (2013-2019) and long-term (2014-2033) strategy.8 Venezuela receives high levels of solar irradiation (GHI) of 5.4 kWh/m2/day and specific yield 5.2 kWh/kWp/day indica- ng a high technical feasibility for solar in the country. 9 In 2021, Venezuela had commissioned its first grid connected solar pv system to ensure continuous power to broadband transport networks. 10 Venezuela has a rooftop solar installed capacity of 0.05 MW. 22 100% of the population in Venezuela had access to electricity as of 2020. 12 CORPOELEC is an integrated state-owned operating company responsible for carrying out activities of Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Marketing of power.
