Results of the optimisation indicate that a fully renewables based power system is the least-cost, least-GHG emitting and most job-rich option for West Africa.
This is largely thanks to the intermittent nature of wind and solar. Improved storage would improve this. In fact, poor storage is contributing to an energy deficit estimated to be holding back Africa''s growth by 2 to 4% every year. This is stifling the creation of jobs, and curbing development in industry, education, healthcare and more.
