Affordable and sustainable energy is crucial towards achieving Africa’s sustainable development goals.
It is against this backdrop that the OFF-GRID Expo + Conference is hosting its first digital ‘OFF-GRID Expo + Conference’ to highlight and unpack renewable energy solutions towards the future on the 2-3 December 2020.
The two-day trade event aims to present lectures on off-grid solar, wind, and hydropower systems and a self-sufficient power supply. With a varied supporting programme, the ‘OFF-GRID Digital’ seeks to be an “exemplary counterpart to the physical event.”
Having launched in 2011 as a workshop, the event has gradually attracted more and more participants and aroused enthusiasm among exhibitors, attendees, and event partners.
‘’Across Africa, access to power has been hindered by the lack of access to competitive funding, the continents infrastructure, and the need for energy policy and legislation to be adopted to boost investment in the sector. The chamber expresses great interest in such initiatives because it is conversations we should be having, not only with likeminded individuals but with governments and public institutions,’’ said African Energy Chamber’s Executive Chairman, NJ Ayuk.
