The Sahel is one of the regions in the world that receives the most sunlight. The Desert to Power initiative harnesses this solar energy and generates an additional 10 GW of capacity to provide clean electricity to 250 million people.
This initiative is part of the African Development Bank's New Deal for Energy in Africa and a key pillar of the Great Green Wall initiative. Desert to Power is helping to build the world's largest solar zone.
