BRICS 2026: From Solar Sahel to Coastal Grids

As energy security, climate transition, and development finance converge, West Africa is emerging as a decisive frontier for BRICS-led green investment. This Global Eye Intelligence report unpacks how the “Solar Sahel to Coastal Grids” corridor can anchor BRICS 2026 outcomes by linking large-scale renewables, grid infrastructure, and industrial decarbonisation across West Africa.

The analysis explains why West Africa’s solar and wind potential, coupled with coastal transmission hubs and regional power pools, offers BRICS a rare opportunity to deliver immediate energy access while building long-term clean infrastructure. It maps recent policy consolidation, the growing role of development finance, and the shift from pilot projects to implementation-ready investments aligned with South–South cooperation.

Special focus is given to the strategic role of blended finance, risk mitigation, and regional coordination in turning renewable abundance into bankable assets—without replicating debt-heavy or extractive models. The report evaluates realistic best-case, most-likely, and worst-case scenarios, highlighting where BRICS leadership, particularly from India, can convert summit commitments into durable outcomes for power generation, grid resilience, and industrial growth.

For policymakers, investors, infrastructure developers, and strategic analysts, this report offers early insight into where green capital and geopolitical alignment will converge next.

Those who follow Global Eye Intelligence gain foresight before these corridors mature—positioning themselves ahead of policy shifts, investment cycles, and the next phase of Global South energy transformation.
