“With the wind at their backs, civic and private institutions around the world are taking steps to build a clean energy future. The Africa Renewable Energy Initiative is a collaborative project that aims to install 10,000 MW of clean power across the continent by 2020. For perspective, that is enough energy to power 2.4 million homes in the United States. This project represents an ambitious and necessary goal for a continent in which the population will double to 2.5 billion people by 2050 and 600 million people still lack access to electricity.
