SUMMARY:RENPOWER SENEGAL - Energy transition\, innovative technologies and scaling-up renewable energy projects
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Renpower Senegal 2022 – a powerful business development platform\, enabling you to build brand awareness\, forge new relationships\, promote your technology\, create new leads or source future investment. \nAccess to reliable\, affordable and clean energy is crucial for the economic and social development in Senegal. The country’s electrification rate is about 69%\, reflecting 93% in urban areas and nearly 50% in rural areas. The opportunity for private investment in solar\, wind and biomass alongside government initiatives to prioritize green schemes has started to drive the way forward across the country. The government is now concentrating its efforts in remote and rural areas\, relying on renewable energy providers. Achieving universal access to electricity will require decentralized solutions and more investments in diverse generation sources and distribution channels\, including both grid connections and micro-grids. \nThe Agence Sénégalaise d’Electrification Rurale unlocks several rural electrification projects for medium-voltage grid extension\, mini-grids and solar home systems. Promoting renewables and increasing the energy mix using natural gas (gas to power strategy)\, boosting energy efficiency and the development of off-grid rural electrification will ensure a smooth transition to full clean power in the country. New technologies and financing will be key drivers in that process. \nBe part of the stakeholders who are shaping Senegal’s energy sector in the current decade – Business development opportunities ahead! \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. Early bird conditions are currently applied so make sure to take advantage. \nFor more information\, please contact:\nMichel Masquelier\nEvent Manager\nadministration@euroconventionglobal.com\n+32 2 662 16 12

SUMMARY:RENPOWER SOUTH AFRICA - Accelerating the Just Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:For 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. As South Africa’s energy availability factor (EAF) dips below the 60% mark\, 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. \nLate in 2021\, the results of the fifth round of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Program (REIPPPP) awarded 12 wind projects and 13 solar projects\, totaling 1 GW of solar PV and 1.6 GW of wind giving positive signs that developers continue having interest in the South African energy market. It is also important to note that 39 wind and 63 solar projects competed in this round. \nTo reach its 2030 goals\, South Africa will require an estimated $35.6 billion\, which are expected to come mainly from the commercial sector to finance the projects. 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. \nDon’t miss the opportunity to meet key industry leaders and decision-makers at RENPOWER South Africa. \nAudience: The event will gather under one roof 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. 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

SUMMARY:Optimizing Performance in new utility and Commercial & Industrial Solar Pv projects in Africa for Enhanced profitability
DESCRIPTION:Solar PV saw its lowest levelized cost of energy (LCOE) — 1.78 US cents/kWh — in a bidding contest in October 2017 to Saudi Arabia’s first 300 MWp utility-scale solar PV Plant in Sakakah. Compared to the lowest LCOE bids of 3 US cents/kWh submitted to DEWA in May 2016; the cost has come down almost 40 percent for every kWh sold to the Grid. \nOptimization of solar PV plants’ output plays an essential role in not only making “solar cheap” but also ensuring its long and durable life — increasing dependability on the intermittent sunlight. \nIntelligent control strategies and optimization methods are utilized in solar energy systems. \nOptimizations strategies reduce emissions and costs of system into maximizing reliability. Solar energy systems enhance the output power and minimize the interruptions in the connected load \nIn this webinar we will: \n\ndiscuss how optimize Pv modules will be breakthrough to enhancing your utility and C&I solar investment.\ndiscuss about the increased reliability that allowed it provide direction to the PV industry.\nDiscover how optimizing performance in new utility and C&I solar PV project enhance profitability in Africa.\n\nDuring this webinar you will get great insights from the following panelists: \n\nTitus Koech – Technical Services-SSA at Jinko\nJibril Omar – CEO at OFGEN\nMax Spannagel – Remote monitoring systems for sustainable development at Ecophi\n\nRegister here
