Stephen Forder's Energy Desk builds geospatial data, tools and media for Africa's renewable energy transition - supporting planners, researchers, landowners, communities and developers.
A source-tracked database of South Africa's energy projects, maintained daily. Every data point carries its source, confidence and full change history.
Where South Africa's new generation comes from: competitive public procurement alongside a fast-growing private and merchant pipeline.
