Description: Investments in renewable energy are increasing rapidly in sub-Saharan Africa. The overall purpose of this paper is to explore to what extent and under what conditions these investments are producing economic co-benefits in terms of spillovers and linkage development effects. One peculiarity of Africa’s renewableenergy sector is the rapid increase and likely future growth of Chinese involvement in large-scale renewable-energy infrastructure projects.
