The article discusses the critical need for sustainable energy transition in Africa to address energy poverty and promote economic growth. With Africa having enormous potential in renewable energy production, the continent must enact incentive policies to diversify its energy mix towards cleaner sources. The study focuses on evaluating the sustainability of renewable energy in 35 African countries over a ten-year period, aiming to uncover evolutionary patterns and key driving factors. It introduces an integrated evaluation model that combines Projection Pursuit, Fuzzy C-Means clustering, and Genetic Algorithm to provide precise and robust assessments. The findings not only support Africa's economic growth and social welfare but also offer valuable lessons for the global energy transition. By bridging the energy access gap and promoting sustainable practices, Africa can contribute to energy security, climate change mitigation, and green economic transformation. The study's outcomes can guide policy-making, aid programs, and investment decisions in the region, setting a model for global energy governance and collaboration.
