Publication Highlights

Solar and wind power could mitigate conflict in northeast Africa

New study published in Nature Energy: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41560-021-00799-5 by Sebastian Sterl, energy planning expert at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and KU Leuven in Belgium, and a guest researcher at ZEF.

In this study Sebastian Sterl shows that several disagreements between Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt around Africa’s largest hydropower plant, the new Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) could be alleviated by massively expanding solar and wind power across the region.
