A new approach for assessing synergies of solar and wind power: implications for West Africa
West African countries’ energy and climate policies show a pronounced focus on decarbonising power supply through renewable electricity (RE) generation. In particular, most West African states explicitly focus on hybrid mixes of variable renewable power sources—solar, wind and hydropower—in their ta...
