The European Commission has signed an investment agreement with Cape Verde for the production of renewable energy and digital infrastructure worth over €200 million, Lusa reported on Thursday, October 9.
“It was a pleasure to welcome Ulisses Correia [Prime Minister of Cape Verde] […]. I am pleased to announce more than €200 million in investment in renewable energy, maritime ports, and digital infrastructure,” wrote Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, on social media.
The EU leader added that “by 2030, Cape Verde aims for 50% of its energy production to come from clean sources” – those that do not emit polluting particles that contaminate the atmosphere, soil, and water.
In recent days, the European Commission has held meetings with the Heads of State and Government of several African countries, including Angola, South Africa, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, within the framework of investments in energy and trade infrastructure, such as the Lobito Corridor in Angola.
