< h2 > Cabo Verde Leads Green Energy Revolution Through Renewable Projects< / h2>

< p>Cabo Verde has made remarkable strides toward energy independence by prioritizing renewable sources over fossil fuels traditionally imported at high costs. The government’s commitment to sustainability is evident through investments in wind farms scattered across Santiago Island along with solar parks powering urban centers like Praia.< strong > Currently,
renewables account for over45%of national electricity production,< strong > underscoring rapid progress uncommon among small island developing states (SIDS). These efforts not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also enhance energy security amid fluctuating global fuel prices.
