SUMMARY:AFSIA e-conference: latest updates on storage technologies
DESCRIPTION:The global increase in renewable generation is hastening the development of energy storage systems to address regulatory\, economic\, and operational issues related to energy scarcity. \nSome African countries are encouraging private developers to build large-scale regional solar parks with storage capacity to help smooth the flow of solar energy and redirect some of the power generated during the day to evening peak hours. \nThe International Renewable Energy Agency estimates that Africa’s renewable energy capacity could reach 310GW by 2030\, making Africa the world’s leading producer of green energy. If this prediction becomes true\, energy storage appears to play a critical role in integrating renewables into the grid. \nThis e-conference aims at bringing together the best experts of the industry to provide a full overview of the latest updates on energy storage. It will also offer an opportunity to showcase their most innovative solutions and projects\, so stakeholders from all over Africa will learn what solutions are available and deliver results\, even in the most demanding environments. \nThis is the 3rd edition of AFSIA’ annual e-conference on storage technologies.

SUMMARY:Unlocking Solar Capital Africa
DESCRIPTION:Although Sub-Saharan Africa boasts 60% of the world’s solar resources\, it currently only hosts 1% of the global solar PV capacity. At the Unlocking Solar Capital Africa conference\, international and local PV\nproject development and investment professionals will come together to discuss the key challenges and solutions to bridging the financing gap\, scaling up PV installations\, and unlocking the full potential of both on-grid and off-grid solar energy solutions. \nThe Sub-Saharan African region is undoubtedly one of the regions most crucial to the global expansion of solar PV and the acceleration of the renewable energy transition. It is home to nearly 600 million people lacking access to electricity – over 50% of its total population. Currently\, the region is at a major turning point. With falling construction costs\, an abundance of solar irradiation and local mineral sources available\, and a buzzing investment climate\, renewable energy additions are set to overshadow fossil fuel-based energy generation facilities this decade. \nUnlocking finance and developing bankable projects are key to securing Africa’s clean energy future. Recent figures show that over $20 billion has already been invested in solar over the past decade – and there will be a doubling of energy investments by 2030. To expand the growth of renewables in the region\, challenges such as the flexibility and reliability of the grid\, as well as the affordability for end-users\, will have to be faced head-on. Furthermore\, developers need to be aware of the latest capital pathways to support the industry's healthy growth. And for solar to scale\, all application sizes and technologies must be in the mix. Utility-scale solar plants; impactful mini-grids and small-scale off-grid installations in regions that the grid can’t reach; battery storage applications; and innovations in financing\, software tools\, and design all have significant roles to play that can’t be viewed independently. \nThe exchange of knowledge and network is more critical than ever. The 5th edition of Unlocking Solar Capital Africa will gather high-level local and international stakeholders from the project development and investment space\, interested in unlocking the growth opportunities for solar PV in Africa in both the on- and off-grid segments. Solarplaza – the global platform for network & knowledge sharing in the PV industry – and GOGLA – the global off-grid lighting association – are proud to join forces again to tap into all networks and sources of expertise to offer the most interactive\, inspirational\, and activating edition yet. \nUnlocking Solar Capital Africa\n31 May – 1 June 2023 – Kampala\, Uganda\nTickets: €895(Early Bird) / €995 (Regular)\nPress contact: alyce@solarplaza.com \nRegister Today here

SUMMARY:RENPOWER DR CONGO 2023 – 2nd Edition
DESCRIPTION:The 2nd annual edition – Embracing Challenges\, Unlocking Business Opportunities & Driving Private Sector Involvement \nDR Congo Minister of Hydraulic Resources and Electricity\, Olivier Mwenze Mukaleng\, stated in April 2022: “Renewable energy is a priority sector for the DRC government to foster growth\, income generation and job creation\, while supporting the ambitious goal of providing universal access to electricity”. \nThe growing demand for electricity will be met by investing further in diversified renewables projects\, in particular decentralized power solutions using solar\, wind\, geothermal or hydro. The Beyond the Grid Fund for Africa (BGFA)’s funding round in DRC has been an initial catalyzer to promote clean off-grid energy solutions. If fully implemented\, the Grand Inga Dam project has the capacity to produce 42GW\, becoming the world’s biggest hydroelectricity project. However\, there are immediate electricity challenges in the region so\, going for small-scale and lower-cost options will play a critical role to overcome grid limitations and expand electricity access to the population in rural and peri-urban areas. A bonanza for technology providers\, next generation storage systems providers\, transmission and distributed power infrastructure. \nFurthermore\, due to its position as a key source of minerals\, DRC wants to play a leading role in the shift to a clean energy system. The scaling up of the worldwide energy transition will drive a huge increase in the requirements for metals used in batteries\, solar components\, wind turbines and also electric vehicles. With appropriate incentives\, there is a window of opportunity for private sector to invest and cooperate under a PPP model with an emerging major force in the mineral markets. \nFeaturing 20+ speakers and experts\, the program is spread over 5 sessions covering timely topics such as: \n\nNew drivers in the pathway towards DRC universal electricity access\nWindows of investment opportunities in DRC renewable & clean technologies developments\nDRC mining sector – a key player in enabling the scaling up of the worldwide energy transition\nOvercoming grid limitations\, expanding electricity access – New cast of solar and hydro solutions\, mini-grid\, storage solutions and C&I\nFinancing DRC’s universal energy access journey and net-zero promise\n\nThis business development platform will be a not-to-be-missed market place for the whole value chain and stakeholders already involved or looking to the country. Be part of the conversation and join us at RENPOWER DR CONGO INVESTORS 2023! \nAttending: Key stakeholders including representatives from the government\, International Finance Institutions (IFIs)\, policy makers\, international and local developers\, EPC contractors\, independent power producers\, engineering\, legal and advisory services\, manufacturers\, banking and private equity entities. \nAgenda and registration – The detailed agenda\, speaker line-up and registration form will be available upon your written inquiry.

SUMMARY:Productive Use Catalog Launch
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:   \n\nKersy Nsengiyumva\, Research Associate at the Africa Solar Industry Association\nJohn van Zuylen\, CEO of the Africa Solar Industry Association\n\nProductive Use of Energy (PUE) is a means of powering subsistence economies with clean energy sources such as solar to generate income and increase productivity across different sectors including agriculture\, industry\, commercial and services among others. PUE solutions such as solar fridges and solar irrigation have continuously proven to business owners the ability to make money in remote areas. While SHS\, Mini-grid and PUE terms can be used interchangeably\, solutions such as solar-powered refrigerators and irrigation systems facilitate remote business activities and generate revenue\, whereas Solar Home Systems (SHS) or Mini-grids mainly provide electricity for households\, hospitals and small businesses without any direct income generation. \nPUE presents a unique opportunity to drive renewable energy consumption and promote economic growth\, though its adoption remains low due to affordability challenges. Access to end-user finance is key to accelerate the adoption of PUE in Sub-Saharan Africa. It may take a few years for PUE products to become commercially attractive\, but some of the products are already on the right path such as solar water pumps being considered the best acceleration option compared to solar lights and TVs for poverty reduction. \nConsidering the above\, AFSIA has compiled a “Productive Use Catalog” to enlighten the comprehension of what is productive use of energy\, its different applications\, how beneficial it has been for many companies/end-users and what we could expect in the near future. \nPoints to be discussed during the launching event includes: \n\nWhat is productive use of energy and its applications in a nutshell\nHow to navigate the different catalog sections\nHighlighting the differences between PUE and other uses of solar energy\nExplanation of key economic numbers\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:e-Conference: Green Hydrogen in Africa
DESCRIPTION:A growing number of African countries are choosing green hydrogen as a potential technology to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels\, accelerate access to electricity for millions of Africans by expanding the use of renewable energy resources\, and meet their global climate commitments. The continent is experimenting with new ways to sustainably harness its existing resources in order to meet the rising demand for energy for economic development and to boost citizens out of poverty while pursuing a net-zero future. \nCountries such as Namibia\, South Africa\, Kenya\, Morocco\, and Nigeria are at various stages of developing plans to incorporate green hydrogen into their energy mixes. \nGlobal hydrogen consumption remains low\, counting for less than 2% of total global energy consumption. However\, the Hydrogen Council estimates that by 2050\, this consumption could reach 25%. \nThanks to its excellent renewable energy potential\, Africa is ideally placed to have a pivotal role in the skyrocketing global green hydrogen industry. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:07th SOLAR AFRICA 2023 – Tanzania
DESCRIPTION:The overwhelming response from the Solar Industry has encouraged Expogroup to launch Solar Africa Exhibition\, to be held concurrently with P&E Africa. \nThe region offers tremendous opportunities to suppliers worldwide\, having among the strongest solar resources in the world. In particular\, the region offers excellent potential for concentrated solar power (CSP) and concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems. \nMany African countries are currently exploring the use of solar and other renewables\, using tenders (or PPAs) as the vehicle for expansion. As incentives in Europe decrease\, project developers and investors are keenly interested in deploying solar technologies in Africa. Vast rural areas produce high demand for solar electrification. \nPower grids in rural Africa currently tend to be powered by diesel generator sets often running 24 hours each day. While relatively cheap to buy\, speedy to install and simple to use\, these diesel generator sets burn a lot of fuel\, push out CO2 and require a lot of refueling and maintenance. Rising diesel prices and environmental concerns are therefore driving grid operators to reconsider their offering and reduce emissions.

SUMMARY:04th SOLAR AFRICA 2023 - Ethiopia
DESCRIPTION:Solar Africa – Solar Exhibition In Ethiopia \nThe overwhelming response from the Solar Industry has encouraged Expogroup to launch “SOLAR AFRICA” and after successful editions in Kenya and Tanzania Solar Africa is all set to step in the Ethiopian Market. \nSolar Africa in Ethiopia will be held concurrently with Power &Energy Africa from 19 – 21 January 2023 . \nThe region offers tremendous opportunities to suppliers worldwide\, having among the strongest solar resources in the world. In particular\, the region offers excellent potential for concentrated solar power (CSP) and concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems. \nSolar photovoltaics are being promoted to replace fuel-based lighting and off-grid electrical needs. Ethiopia is thought to have about 5 MW of off-grid solar. Almost all current solar power is used for telecommunications. Other uses include village well pumps\, health care and school lighting. A current government initiative plans to bring solar power to 150\,000 households. The first phase included 1 MW of panels. The first large installation of solar was a village grid of 10 kW in 1985\, expanded to 30 kW in 1989. A solar panel assembly plant opened in Addis Ababa in early 2013 capable of making 20 MW of panel per year. \nMany African countries are currently exploring the use of solar and other renewable energy\, with Ethiopia being a strong market for Solar industry and is currently focusing on developing the same. The Government is also being very supportive by allowing solar products to enter the country duty free. Learn more Here \nCome\, be a part of progress in Africa!\nRegistration link
