As noted by AFSIA Solar, one of the most notable solar-plus-storage developments in Africa is Norway-based independent power producer (IPP) Scatec's 225MW/1,140MWh Kenhardt project in South Africa. The site started operation in late 2023 (pictured above).

This has resulted in an increase in energy storage levels in recent years. In 2022, the continent had around 50MWh of energy storage capacity installed. Since then, energy storage capacity tripled in 2023 and then experienced another 10-fold increase in 2024. Image: AFSIA Solar.
Solar PV, which, as reported by our colleagues at PV Tech in their write-up of the AFSIA report, reached 19.2GW in 2024, increasing by 2.5GW on 2023 levels, is becoming the focal energy generation resource for Africa.
Wind turbines are manufactured in the U.S. by companies such as GE Vernova, Clipper Windpower, Heartland Energy Solutions, and Continental Wind Power, along with international firms like Siemens Gamesa, Vestas, and Acciona that operate domestic plants. What percentage of wind turbines are made in the USA?
Vestas, one of the largest wind turbine companies in the US, operates two major wind turbine manufacturing facilities in Colorado. One in Brighton for nacelles and hubs, and the other in Windsor for blades. Both manufacturing plants span a combined 931,000 square feet.
Windlift is a renewable energy company based in Durham, North Carolina, specializing in offshore wind technology. Founded in 2019, the company is dedicated to developing autonomous flying prototypes that aim to harness wind energy efficiently.
Vestas Wind Systems A/S is the second largest wind turbine manufacturing company in the USA. In 2024, Vestas spent USD 1.7 billion across the USA supply chain with more than 1000 suppliers. The Danish company founded in 1945 has 49,000+ MW of installed capacity and over 43,000+ MW wind turbines under service across the U.S. and Canada.
