The Regional Reports on Renewable Energies comprising 30 country analyses on RE potentials and markets in West Africa, East Africa and Central Asia are a substantial contribution to the dissemination of comprehensive and precise knowledge on RE markets and related investment options and thus help to further pave the way for the promotion of RE in these regions. As such the publication addresses potential businesses and investors – including manufacturers, technology providers, wholesalers, suppliers, project developers, operators, services companies, planning offices, consultancy firms, as well as financing institutions. The Regional Reports are both meant for those who are already active in the assessed RE markets, but also for those exploring new markets for their business activities. Of course, the publication also serves as a database with country-specific insights into the assessed African and Central Asian regions for interested actors from the public and civil sector.
