What the source says
"Alongside this, Africa has almost 200 GW of planned wind projects facing structural gaps in policy, grid infrastructure, alternative routes to market and innovative financing mechanisms to move these projects into construction and operation phases."
Checked: the figure 200 billion wattsis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
