Wind Power in Southern Africa’s Emerging Markets: Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe – and a Look at Kenya | with Dr. Karunamoorthy Neethimani

Africa is the fastest-growing world region in both population and economic output. Yet despite an abundance of renewable energy resources, hundreds of millions of people on the continent still lack access to modern energy services, especially electricity. This gap represents a huge economic, social and ecological opportunity: developing the continent's vast energy resources will unlock its overall economic potential.

Our guest in this episode is Dr. Karunamoorthy Neethimani, Director at India's KP Group – one of the country's leading wind power investors – and, in his capacity as Vice President of WWEA, a strong advocate for the global deployment of wind power. KP Group has begun exploring market opportunities in several African countries. Together, we discuss the specific opportunities and challenges in the Southern African markets – Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe – as well as in Kenya.
