Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JetPs) are criticized for perpetuating neocolonialism by prioritizing loans over grants, sidelining local businesses, and imposing rapid transitions on developing countries. These agreements, like South Africa’s $8.5 billion deal, risk increasing debt burdens and limiting sovereignty. Advocates call for grants, regional collaboration, and diversified economies to ensure a just energy transition in Africa.
