AEEP Energy Talks - Empowering Africa: Accelerating Energy Efficiency for Sustainable Development
2024-05-08 11:00 - 14:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
“In the southern region of Africa, just saving 5% to 9% of energy frees enough energy to electrify 50 million African homes” – H. E. Dr. Amani Abou-Zeid Commissioner for Infrastructure and Energy
The 14th AEEP Energy Talks on 08 May 2024 will delve into “Empowering Africa: Accelerating Energy Efficiency for Sustainable Development”. The online event will spotlight the role of energy efficiency to meet Africa’s energy needs, and as an essential component of SDG7 and COP28’s Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency pledge.
Energy efficiency, now termed the “first fuel,” is critical for saving energy and reducing demand, contributing to energy affordability and security, and supporting climate goals. By cutting energy bills and mitigating the effects of price volatility, it reduces energy spendings for households and industries, and spurs economic development. Investing in energy efficiency also helps reduce fuel imports, creates jobs, and reduces strain on energy infrastructure. Finally, by helping to cut down emissions from the energy sector, it contributes to climate change mitigation.
The African Energy Commission (AFREC) is developing the African Energy Efficiency Strategy and Action Plan (AfEES) alongside the European Union. The initiative will accelerate the adoption of energy efficiency paradigms across six key sectors: industry, electricity supply, appliances, and devices (including clean cooking solutions), buildings, transportation, and agriculture. The long-term target is to decouple economic growth from energy consumption and achieve a 50% increase of energy productivity by 2050 and 70% increase by 2063.
Furthermore, the African Energy Efficiency Programme, also developed by AFREC in collaboration with U4E, aims to transform the continent’s energy market towards higher efficiency lighting and appliances. By curbing electricity consumption, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions, the programme seeks to accelerate Africa’s transition to efficient electrical products, saving billions for consumers and optimising the productivity of the entire power system.
Similarly, the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive is a key driver of Europe’s energy transition and central to achieving the EU’s climate ambition. The 2021 proposal of the directive was further enhanced as part of the REPowerEU plan, presented by the Commission in May 2022, as a response to the international energy crises arising from the Russian war in Ukraine and an attempt to decrease the EU’s dependency on fossil fuel imports from Russia.
The 14th AEEP Energy Talks will explore the current energy efficiency landscape of Africa. Additionally, we will hear experiences from Europe on how to implement energy efficiency measures and explore the role of deepened Africa-Europe collaboration for innovative energy efficiency solutions.
About the AEEP Energy Talks
The Africa-EU Energy Partnership (AEEP) Energy Talks is a bimonthly webinar series that fosters dynamic dialogue by between key stakeholders and energy players from Africa and Europe.

Powering Performance: Strategic Talent Development for Business Excellence in Energy
2024-04-26 07:00 - 11:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
About The Event
The energy sector stands at the forefront of innovation and progress, tackling unprecedented global challenges with transformative technological advancements. However, this very dynamism creates a critical skills gap. Attracting and retaining top talent becomes even tougher with a limited pool and a workforce with evolving demographics – millennials and Gen Z, for example, who have distinct work-style preferences. This intensifies the war for talent across the energy sector. AMI understands the burden of navigating this complex landscape.
“Powering Performance: Strategic Talent Development for Business Excellence in Energy” is your opportunity to connect with industry leaders, share best practices, and discover innovative approaches to talent development.
Through the Powering Performance event, we seek to explore strategies to bridge the skills gap, foster innovation and knowledge transfer through mentorship initiatives, and more importantly, cultivate an agile and adaptable workforce that thrives in the face of constant change.
What to expect:

Panel discussions: Gain insights from visionary leaders spearheading change in the energy sector. Discover strategies employed by industry-leading companies to attract and retain top talent, and learn how to adapt these approaches for your organization. Explore how they measure the impact of talent development initiatives on business outcomes.
Real-world case studies: Hear from energy companies that have successfully implemented strategic talent development programs and seen tangible business outcomes.
Tool Showcase: Explore the latest problem-solving tools designed to help you overcome challenges in the energy sector.
Networking: Connect with professionals who share your passion for building a more inclusive and sustainable energy industry.

When: Friday, 26th April
Time: 8: 00 am to 12: 00 p.m.
The exact venue in Nairobi is to be shared post-registration
