This policy brief highlights three critical energy technologies driving Africa’s just energy transition: e-mobility, decentralised solar systems, and e-waste and second-life batteries (SLBs). These innovations offer practical, scalable solutions to decarbonise transport, expand rural electrification, and support circular energy systems. Policy, regulatory and infrastructural barriers persist however, particularly around EV integration, off-grid solar deployment, and e-waste management. Drawing on SESA insights and global benchmarks (World Bank Group, 2025) this analysis outlines the enablers needed to unlock sustainable energy solutions that are inclusive, affordable, and climate resilient.
