Energy in Ivory Coast has a capacity of 2,200 megawatts (MW) energy production. Unlike other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the Ivory Coast reliable power supply in the region, exporting electricity to neighboring Ghana, Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo, and Mali. Ivory Coast aims to produce enough renewable energy by 2030 to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 28%.

The Colleen Bawn Solar Power Station is a 32 MW (43,000 hp) solar power plant under development in Zimbabwe. The project is owned by Pretoria Portland Cement Limited, who own a cement factory in Colleen Bawn and plan to consume 16 megawatts of the electricity generated and sell the rest to the Zimbabwe national grid.

The Dondo Solar Power Station is a planned 40 MW (54,000 hp) solar power plant in Mozambique. The power station is part of a 160 megawatts energy package of four renewable energy power stations under development in the country. They comprise three solar power stations in the districts of Dondo, Lichinga and Chiuta, together with a wind farm in Inhambane Province. Each power station will have maximum generation capacity of 40 MW.

The Golomoti Solar Power Station is a 20 MW (27,000 hp) solar power plant in Malawi. The power station was developed by a consortium comprising InfraCo Africa of the United Kingdom and JCM Power, a Canadian independent power producer. Construction began during the first quarter of 2021. The solar farm came online during the second quarter of 2022.

The Blitta Solar Power Station is an operational 50 MW (67,000 hp) solar power plant in Togo. The power station was developed by Amea Power, an independent power producer (IPP), based in the United Arab Emirates. The solar farm, which is the largest grid-ready in Togo, is also referred to as Mohamed Bin Zayed Power Station, named after His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. The power station began commercial operations in June 2021.

The Boikanyo Solar Power Station is a 50 MW (67,000 hp) solar power plant in South Africa. It is a grid-connected, privately owned and privately funded solar power station. The power station, which took about one year to construct, reached "grid code compliance" on 9 April 2021 and provided 450 construction jobs.

The Gourou Banda Solar Power Station is a planned 50 MW (67,000 hp) solar power plant in Niger. This renewable energy infrastructure project will be developed by an independent power producer (IPP), under the build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) model, with support from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, as part of the bank's "Scaling Solar" program. The solar farm, first conceived in 2018, as a 20 megawatts installation, was expanded to capacity of 50 megawatts in 2020.

The Adétikopé Solar Power Station is a planned 390 MW (520,000 hp) solar power plant in Togo, with 200 MWh (720 GJ), attached battery energy storage. The power station is in the development stage, under concessional terms by the company Arise Integrated Industrial Platforms , a subsidiary of the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), in partnership with the Government of Togo. As of July 2021 a qualified EPC company was being sought to construct the power station, either on its own or in partnership with the existing stakeholders. When completed, this power station will be the largest grid-ready solar power plant in West Africa. The energy is primarily intended to power an industrial park, Adétikopé Industrial Platform (PIA), a 400 hectares (1.5 sq mi) business and industrial development, immediately north of Lomé, the national capital.

The Exxaro Solar Power Station, also Lephalale Solar Power Station, is a planned 80 MW (110,000 hp) solar power plant in South Africa. The solar farm is under development by Cinnergi, a subsidiary of Exxaro Resources Limited, a South African multinational mining group, active in Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe. The energy generated here will be sold to Exxaro Coal Plc, for use in their coal mine at Grootegeluk, under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA), between the two Exxaro subsidiaries. The expected benefits to the group include (a) reduction of the group's carbon footprint (b) financial savings on energy acquisition and utilization and (c) to provide green, secure and sustainable electricity for mine operations at Grootegeluk Coal Mine.

Oyem Solar Power Station, is a planned 50 megawatts (67,000 hp) solar power plant in Gabon. The power station is under development by Amea Power, a subsidiary of the Al Nowais Investments (ANI), based in the United Arab Emirates.

The Dyason's Klip 1 Power Station, also, is an 86 megawatts solar power plant in South Africa. The power station was developed and is owned and operated by a consortium comprising an international independent power producer (IPP), South African and European investors and a local charitable trust. Commercially commissioned in February 2020, the solar farm's 217 GWh of energy production annually is sold to Eskom, the national electricity utility company, under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA).

Edwaleni Solar Power Station, is a 100 megawatts solar power plant under construction in Eswatini. The solar farm is under development by Frazium Energy, a subsidiary of the Frazer Solar Group, an Australian-German conglomerate. The solar component is complemented by a battery energy storage system, expected to be the largest in Africa. The energy off-taker is Eswatini Electricity Company (EEC), the national electricity utility parastatal company, under a 40-year power purchase agreement (PPA). EEC plans to inject the energy into the Southern Africa Power Pool, for use primarily in South Africa.

Kpalassi Solar Power Station, is a 42 megawatts (56,000 hp) solar power plant, under development in Togo. The power station is being developed by the government of Togo, through the Agence Togolaise d’Electrification Rurale et des Energies Renouvelables (AT2ER), with loans from the World Bank Group and from the West African Development Bank, under the “Scaling Solar” program.
