China's Involvement in South Africa's Renewable Energy

The China-Africa Research Initiative at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies published in November 2017 a study titled "China's Involvement in South Africa's Wind and Solar PV Industries" by Lucy Baker and Wei Shen.

The paper explores the different modes of involvement of Chinese companies in South Africa's solar PV and wind energy sectors, and how the differentiated technological and industrial trajectories of Chinese companies are interacting with South Africa's unique national context.
