SUMMARY:Renpower Africa Storage
DESCRIPTION:RENPOWER Africa Storage will highlight the evolution and ambitions taken to scale-up energy storage projects in the African continent. The conversations will involve the public and private sector stakeholders. \nAs the African continent transitions towards a zero-emission electricity sector by including more renewable sources in the energy mix\, it will naturally require large scale energy storage in abundance which can be used to maintain a constant supply and demand of electricity\, smoothing intermittency of renewables\, and enhance energy security\, amongst other benefits. \nThe need for energy storage systems (ESS) is also key to continue integrating renewables onto the grid\, many countries in West Africa are looking into launching calls for tender for the development of large-scale solar parks with storage capacity in Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast to smooth the flow of solar energy and use the saved power during evening peak hours. In Sub-Sahara Africa\, Malawi’s first utility-scale grid-connected 20MW Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage Project has entered commercial operations. \nThrough South Africa’s REIPPPP model\, Eskom has recently awarded contracts to two successful bidders for the provision of battery storage solutions in terms of its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project. The 1\,440MWh distributed BESS combined with 60MW Solar PV represents a giant leap forward for large-scale deployment in support of South Africa’s renewable energy strategy and addresses local overall system challenges. This is the first part of the 500MW BESS initiative announced by the government. \nThe conference will also address topics such as the use of energy storage systems (ESS) in C&I and mining sites; as well as exploring green hydrogen as a long-term energy storage solution and how the continent is reacting to unlock the multiple benefits. \nAudience: The event will gather under one roof key stakeholders including Renewable power developers\, EPC contractors\, Engineering\, Battery storage technology providers\, Equipment manufacturers\, Mining companies\, Legal and advisory services\, Banking and private equity entities\, Representatives from the government\, International Finance Institutions (IFIs)\, Sectorial/regional agencies and associations. \nAgenda and registration – The detailed agenda\, speaker line-up and registration form will be available upon your written inquiry. Make sure to register early to benefit from the early bird conditions. \nFor more information\, please contact:\nJose Romero\nEvent Manager\njromero@euroconventionglobal.com\n+1 407 227 3831 \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar - Maximise the value of your solar assets with energy storage technology
DESCRIPTION:Energy storage solutions can drive down the lifetime electricity cost of solar assets and maximise revenues\, especially now that robust tax incentives and credits have strengthened the business case of solar-plus-storage. \nProject developers are increasingly hybridising solar PV projects with battery technology. Solar-plus-storage projects demonstrate that renewable energy can become a dispatchable asset\, offering a flexible and reliable way of delivering clean energy without the high capex of nuclear and the high opex of fossil fuels. \nWith solar-plus-storage projects becoming commonplace globally\, research organisation BloombergNEF (BNEF) forecasts that by 2030\, 55% of energy storage builds will be paired with solar to provide energy shifting. As the market evolves\, system design becomes an important consideration when developing and managing complex renewable projects while also generating value-based asset management. \nJoin this webinar and: \n\nLearn why solar-plus-storage market is gaining ground and the financial models underpinning it\nUnderstand the technical and revenue trade-offs of AC- vs. DC-coupled projects\nFind out how smart energy management software for asset optimisation and efficiency also reduces environmental impacts\n\nRegister Here

Africa has the world’s largest potential for renewable energy but only receives less than 2% of global renewable energy investment. So much underexploited opportunity\, and a greater need for energy\, with 600 million Africans having no access to electricity. Many African countries have made tremendous legislative movements to attract investment\, the ball is now investors’ court. This session will spell out the trends and intricacies of developing projects in Africa\, and why investors should starting investing now. Attendees will discover how to invest in African renewable energy projects\, and find out how they can attract investment for their projects in Africa. \n\n\nReimagining project finance for African RE projects – African oriented solution\nTraditional financing methods for renewable energy projects don’t always work for African conditions. This session will explore what innovative finance options lenders and investors can utilise in financing African RE projects to accelerate Africa’s energy transition. How to navigate currency volatility challenges and hedge against foreign exchange risks. Why local currency financing is changing the game. What risk mitigation alternatives to sovereign guarantees to explore. Insights into cryptos\, green bonds\, crowdfunding\, grants\, blended finance\, concessional funding etc. \n\nSouth Africa – what does it take to deliver 7GW of RE in the 3 years?\nSouth Africa is on massive procurement drive for renewables\, with ministerial determinations for procuring 4 800 MW of wind\, 2 000 MW of solar PV and 513 MW of battery energy storage capacity within 3 years approved. This session will delineate how developers can successfully bid in Africa’s largest renewable energy market\, opportunities for investors and what needs to be done to successfully implement this tremendous procurement drive. \n  \n  \nRegister here

SUMMARY:SOLAR ETHIOPIA 2022
DESCRIPTION:The 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 07 – 09 July 2022 . \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. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:RENPOWER SOUTHERN AFRICA – South Africa\, Namibia and Botswana
DESCRIPTION:RENPOWER SOUTHERN AFRICA will highlight the evolution and ambitions taken by South Africa\, Namibia\, and Botswana to lead the just-energy transition as clean energy resources become predominant in the energy landscape. \nFor many years coal has been the main energy source in South Africa accounting for 80% of the country’s energy mix. However\, to contribute to the energy transition\, South Africa adopted the Integrated Resource Plan to set the ambitious target of 20 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 which will benefit the nation not only by decarbonizing its economy but also addressing major issues of power shortage which are counterproductive for the industry and country’s development. \nBreaking down the numbers\, South Africa plans to allocate at least 6 GW of large scale solar by 2030\, planning for 1 gigawatt of solar per year allowing for solar to supply about 10% to its energy mix. With a bright future\, wind power will represent the major bulk of 16 GW of generation capacity by the end of the decade. As a solution for the critical need of extra generation capacity\, the government raised the licensing threshold for embedded generation projects from 1 MW to 100 MW\, opening the doors for IPPs to compete in the market.Tapping into the nation’s renewable power potential will be crucial to create greater energy security\, reduce costs\, and generate local socioeconomic benefits for South Africa. \nNeighboring Namibia and Botswana still rely on energy imports from South Africa\, with Botswana importing over 800 MW of electricity in 2020 and about 40% of Namibia’s power comes from South Africa. To create a solution\, Botswana adopted the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to achieve 15% contribution of renewable energy by 2030 from the current 2%. In Namibia\, one of the main goals of the Namibia Harambee Prosperity Plan II 2021 – 2025 (HPPII) is to increase local electricity generation capacity from 624 MW in 2020 to 879 MW by 2025. \nThe desire and need to move away from the traditional energy mix coupled with dependency on electricity imports\, peak power challenges\, as well as securing power supply and projected electricity demand\, have led Namibia and Botswana to evolve their renewable energy goals by tapping into their own resources setting bold ambitions to lead the decarbonization and become renewable energy traders in the region. \nFor more information regarding the detailed agenda and register\, please email administration@euroconventionglobal.com \n20+ Speakers\, panel sessions\, VIP exclusive networking with local and regional leaders\, presentations with latest content…and more! \nJoin us and be a part of the discussion! \nRead more
