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: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. In 2022\, this event hosted 16 speakers and attracted 2\,500+ participants. \ne-Conference Speakers:  \n\nTitus Koech – Technical Service Manager at Jinko\nSammy Waite – BD Manager at Chloride Exide\n Anre Swart –  Business Development Exec – Blue Nova\nCarl Kies – Chief Technical Officer – Blue Nova\nNuno Gomes  – Vice President of ASAER\nMoeketsi Thobela – Chief RE Investment Specialist at AfDB\nJulia Wang – CEO of SEETEK \nErik Nygard – Founder & CEO of KOFA Ghana \nJean Philipe Seya – Senior Project Development Manager at CrossBoundary Energy\nJibril Omar – CEO of OFGEN\nElena García Ortiz – Project Manager  at UL Solution\nGilles Parmentier – CEO of Africa Ren\nMawufemo Modjinou – Project Coordinator at WAPP\nShane Marcelo Prins – Generation Development and Municipal Energy Efficiency Manager- City of Cape town \nHiten Parmar –  Strategic Advisor  at South Africa Energy Storage Association(SAESA)\nJoaquim Claudio\, CEO of MESAT\n\nRegister Here
