The Rockefeller Foundation has unveiled a groundbreaking report highlighting an urgent “Green Power Gap” of 8,700 terawatt-hours (TWh) of renewable energy that must be generated by 2050 across 72 countries. This report underscores the critical necessity for these nations, predominantly in Africa and Asia, to transition from traditional, inefficient power systems to sustainable energy solutions to meet global development and climate objectives. The report, titled “Green Power Gap: Achieving an Energy Abundant Future for Everyone,” identifies 44 African nations and 20 Asian countries among those needing to bridge this substantial energy shortfall.
