African countries benefit from sustainable development and energy access. China's financial support increases Africa's energy capacity and independence. China has notably increased its investments in Africa's energy infrastructure, establishing itself as a critical player in the continent's energy development.

These investments aim to address Africa's energy deficits, boost economic growth, and solidify China's influence on the continent. Hydropower projects have become a major part of China's energy investments in Africa. A prime example is Uganda's Karuma Hydropower Project, a 600 MW facility built on the Nile River.

Other notable green energy projects undertaken in Africa by Chinese companies include the De Aar wind farm in South Africa. The project is being conducted by China's Longyuan Power through its South African subsidiary, Longyuan South Africa Renewables. The installed capacity of the project's 163 wind turbines is 244.5 MW.

Mozambique, with its significant natural gas deposits, has become a key player in Africa's gas export market, and China's involvement strengthens its energy security. Additionally, China's engagement in Angola, Nigeria, and Sudan's oil sectors demonstrates its long-term commitment to securing stable energy supplies for its rapidly growing economy.

With the 15th BRICS Summit of leaders held in Johannesburg, South Africa on August 23, the world's attention was once again on South Africa. POWERCHINA has also been engaged in the construction of various green energy projects in the country.

By supporting Africa's energy transition, China is not only addressing global environmental concerns but also positioning itself as a leader in clean energy finance. Despite its push for renewables, China continues to invest in Africa's oil and gas sector, which remains a vital part of the continent's economy.
