据全球研究公司伍德麦肯兹（Wood Mackenzie）最新报告，撒哈拉以南非洲的离网太阳能市场预计到2035年将增长450%，其中尼日利亚的安装量预计将超过35%。
Sub-Saharan Africa’s off-grid solar market is due to expand by 450% by 2035, with more than 35% of installations projected to be in Nigeria, according to a new report by global research firm Wood Mackenzie.
在整个非洲大陆，国家电网的持续故障和人口增长已经催生了一个以柴油发电机为主的离网“影子”燃料市场。
Across the continent, persistent failures in national grids and growing populations have already created an off-grid “shadow” fuel market, predominantly led by diesel generators.
然而，伊朗战争导致的燃料价格上涨、尼日利亚取消补贴以及近年来太阳能板价格的显著下降，正在推动向太阳能的转型。
However, the recent rise in fuel prices due to the Iran war, alongside the removal of subsidies in Nigeria and a significant drop in solar panel prices in recent decades, are driving the shift to solar.
除尼日利亚外，肯尼亚和刚果民主共和国也被预计将成为主要的太阳能中心。
Outside Nigeria, Kenya, and DR Congo are also projected to be major solar power hubs.
报告警告称，为了让非洲大陆更多地区享受太阳能带来的好处，需要混合融资模式和一致的农村电气化政策来弥合电力缺口。
For more of the continent to reap the benefits of solar power, however, blended funding models and consistent rural electrification policies will be needed to help bridge the power gap, the report warned.
