AFSIA Showcase - Improving BOS and LCOE with high power panels for MG and C&I projects
2021-03-04 12:00 - 12:30 (Europe/Helsinki)
Join Sam Ogunniyi, Sales Manager West & Central Africa at Trina Solar, for this Showcase event on high power modules with Trina Solar.
Many solar installers and MG developers have a habit of opting for low power modules, sometimes less than 350Wp.
But recent technology innovation now makes it possible to use panels of 450Wp and above, and generate significant savings on the overall project.
In this Showcase, you will learn about finding the right balance between Quantity and Quality.
Join us to learn and discuss about:

the importance of high power modules in Mini-Grid, Rooftop and C&I applications
how to optimize the LCOE and BOS costs in module application
why to prefer “energy yield” over “number of panels” in installations: Quality vs. Quantity
how high power modules will help you reduce logistics costs

This event is open to all and will be of particular interest to: MG developers and C&I installers and developers from West Africa.

Europe-Mozambique Investment Forum: Renewables in Mozambique 2021
2021-03-22 08:00 - 2021-03-23 17:00 UTC
From 22 to 23 of March, the Lusophone Renewable Energy Association (ALER) and the Mozambican Renewable Energy Association (AMER), in cooperation with GET.invest, a European programme supported by the European Union, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands and Austria, will organize the Europe-Mozambique Investment Forum: Renewables in Mozambique 2021.
The Forum will feature relevant players from the sector, who will provide an overview of the renewable energy sector in Mozambique. There will be presented the initiatives recently launched by the Mozambican Government and its cooperation partners, including investment opportunities through interactive virtual sessions.
During the event there will be two dynamics: the first one during the morning, will start with interactive high-level debates, based on a presentation of the Briefing Renewables in Mozambique 2021, which will be shared with the participants in advance of the event; and the second one, in the afternoon, through interactive matchmaking sessions.
On the 24 of March, the Forum will be followed by the Seminar Opportunities for IPP Projects: Renewables in Mozambique 2021, hosted with the support of GET.invest and in partnership with Confederation of Economic Associations (CTA), Mozambique Women in Energy (MWE) and Solar Power Europe (SPE).
The seminar is targeting promoters of renewable Independent Power Producers (IPP) projects in Mozambique and Mozambican companies that may be their partners or service providers. It aims to support all those interested in applying to renewable IPP tenders in Mozambique, helping to create strategic partnerships in the private sector.
In the morning, technical sessions will take place about available opportunities to local companies connected to IPP development and partners programmes in Mozambique.
Both events will have simultaneous interpretation, in Portuguese and English. The register is mandatory, and it will be available from February.

Solar Africa - Tanzania
2021-03-24 08:00 - 2021-03-26 17:00 UTC
The overwhelming response from the Solar Industry has encouraged Expogroup to launch Solar Africa Exhibition, to be held concurrently with P&E Africa.
The 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.
Many 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.
Power 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.

Green Hydrogen in Africa
2021-03-24 11:00 - 2021-03-25 13:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
Hydrogen has been used for several decades by industrial companies because of its great convenience as fuel stock with regards to storage and transport. And thanks to continued decreasing cost of renewables, the potential for green hydrogen is now growing exponentially and opening new avenues of use for hydrogen.
The success of green hydrogen will be linked to its production cost and Africa is ideally positioned to play a major role in this global industry as the continent enjoys some of the best renewable energy resources in the world.
But other factors may still prove challenging and could limit the extent to which Africa will benefit from this nascent industry.
In this e-conference we will learn from the best experts in the industry about the potential of green hydrogen for economic growth in Africa.

Webinar: Hybridization: How to accelerate the transition to renewables with Hybrid PV-CSP systems
2021-03-30 10:00 - 11:00 UTC
Solar PV is now the cheapest way to generate electricity in sun-drenched areas. However, as a Variable Renewable (VRE), penetration is limited. Hybrid PV – CSP approaches are uniting two complementary technologies to deliver solar power whenever it is required.
In this webinar, we will analyze Noor Midelt’s first-of-a-kind hybrid solar project that will deliver dispatchable solar at 7 cents per kWh.

How does CSP stack up against PV with batteries or natural gas? Understand how and why CSP plants can be designed and optimized as peakers, load followers, or flexible base-load plants.
Hear directly from the source about how combining PV-CSP enhances flexibility and reliability, enabling the supply of clean power 24/7
Explore how different markets can incorporate PV-CSP to their energy strategies to benefit from innovative technologies, project structuring and climate financing.

e-conference - The decade of the mini-grid
2021-03-30 14:00 - 2021-03-31 17:30 (Europe/Helsinki)
On behalf of the Africa Minigrids Developers Association (AMDA) and Energy Catalyst, we invite the energy access industry to AMDA’s first global virtual conference dedicated to accelerating innovation to end energy poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa.
With many people in the region without access to reliable energy services, traditional, centralised grid-based approaches are not feasible or affordable for the majority of unserved poor households. Minigrid development is crucial to alleviating the energy trilemma in Sub-Saharan Africa as they offer a cost-effective solution for rural and off-grid communities and businesses through the provision of low-cost, reliable and clean power.
This conference aims to raise awareness and facilitate knowledge exchange on technology and product trends, investment, energy demand and state of the market relating to mini-grid developments between innovators, co-funding partners and programmes who share a strategic interest in innovations to address the energy trilemma.
International attendees are encouraged to register and join us live on the virtual platform for part of the event which coordinates with their time zone. A recording will be available for any sessions that were missed due to time differences.
Please note this event is for relevant stakeholders only. We reserve the right to decline unsuitable registrants in order to ensure an appropriate event audience.
