日内瓦Agence Ecofin通讯社10月20日报道，截至2024年，撒哈拉以南非洲地区仍有近6亿人无法获得电 力供应，能源短缺严重制约了经济发展和民生改善。非洲各国正积极发展太阳能、风能等可再生能源以 缓解电力短缺，但输配电网络设施建设长期以来未得到足够重视，未能与可再生能源发展实现同步推 进。 然而，非洲电力行业面临突出挑战。一是电力基础设施建设资金短缺。非洲开发银行与国际货币基金组 织指出，超过60%的非洲国有电力公司处于亏损状态，融资能力有限，难以承担大型输电项目投资。二 是电网扩张速度明显落后于可再生能源装机增长，导致部分新增产能无法并网或被充分利用，从而影响 项目回报率并削弱投资者信心。国际能源署警示称，若输电网络建设持续滞后，可再生能源产能将出 现"被动闲置"风险，不仅削弱能源投资效益，也可能延缓整个大陆的电气化进程。 为应对上述问题，国际能源署提出三项建议：一是优化能源投资结构，提升输配电领域比重，推动公私 合作模式，吸引社会资本参与基础设施建设；二是加强区域电网互联，提升跨国电力调度与输送能力； 三是改革各国国有电力企业管理体制，改善财务状况和运营可持续性。 非洲能源转型的未来不仅取决于可 ...
