It offers a comprehensive representation of wind potential in all African countries located near high-voltage lines and with high wind resources. Furthermore, it suggests future investigations to explore the potential for hydrogen production and conduct a more thorough comparison of the countries studied. This methodological approach significantly contributes to advancing knowledge in sustainable energy production and serves as a catalyst for future research.enWind energyhigh-resolution wind potential analysismulti-criteria suitability assessmentAfricaconference paper
