Reflecting this trend, even Eskom, which has traditionally relied on coal, has launched a new business unit focused on developing utility-scale renewable energy projects. With this momentum, the financial institution is energised to finance the continent’s clean energy boom. 1-268899 Wed, 10 Jun 2026 08:16:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Energy Nigeria https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/crossboundary-secures-40m-to-build-solar-and-battery-power-for-african-businesses-392408a As the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran pushes up diesel prices and Eskom increases its electricity tariffs, renewable energy is a good option for many businesses looking to reduce costs and increase energy reliability.

Since 2019, researchers have released regular reports analysing how these governments plan to continue drilling and mining for fossil fuels – and how those plans diverge from the global climate goal set out in the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit temperature rise to less than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The 2025 Production Gap Report found that many of these countries still plan to produce far more fossil fuels by 2030 than is safe for the climate. Scientists Emily Ghosh, Derik Broekhoff, Bathandwa Vazi and Olivier Bois von Kursk were among the co-authors of the report, which found that Nigeria and South Africa – already among the world’s largest fossil fuel producers – plan to increase fossil fuel production despite their climate commitments. 1-264717 Tue, 13 Jan 2026 11:05:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Energy Nigeria https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/oil-prices-little-changed-as-investors-seek-clarity-on-russia-ukraine-talks-061505a Oil prices were little changed on Tuesday, 30 December, following a gain of more than 2% in the previous session after Russia accused Ukraine of attacking President Vladimir Putin's residence and investors sought clarity on Ukraine peace talks to gauge potential supply disruptions. 1-264517 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 10:19:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Energy Nigeria https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/coal-remains-essential-to-keeping-the-lights-on-and-economic-development-283137a The findings of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) latest annual coal report reinforce the reality that coal remains a critical pillar of energy security, industrial competitiveness, and economic development. 1-264420 Tue, 23 Dec 2025 08:30:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Energy Nigeria
