Description: Oil-rich Nigeria is turning to renewable energy in a big way. The country has recently invested significantly in solar power projects, seeking to boost the capacity of the national grid and reduce reliance on it by building mini-grids in rural areas without electricity.  The power sector in Nigeria is dominated by the intensive use of fossil fuel (88%) for power generation and low electrification rates at about 45%, actually 55% urban and less that 35% rural. Under the National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy (NREEEP), Nigeria commits itself to sourcing 20% of electricity generation from renewables by 2030 – with PV, wind power, geothermal, hydropower, and biomass all to be developed. Whilst hydropower accounted for as high as 98% of the total renewable technology in use, Nigeria is endowed with abundant and diversified energy resources, both conventional and renewable. This can eventually provide the country with a sufficient capacity to meet the ambitions of a full nationwide electrification level, both urban and rural.

Description: Solar Roofs North Africa Is an exclusive event for the North African Nations With A Gathering Of Top Professional's From The Industry. Attendees Of This Event Include CEOs And Other Senior Company Officials Driving The Rapid Growth Of This Sector.

North African nations have been making major progress with energy generation. The region’s demand for power is witnessing rapid growth due to increased activities in the industrial and construction sectors. Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco have invested tens of billions of dollars in renewable energy projects. The emerging potential of solar PV is perhaps the most exciting development on the continent from an energy perspective. North Africa has excellent, widely distributed solar resources. By investing in the power of the sun, these countries could benefit from many factors: technological innovation, incentives, new environmental policies, more sustainable energy mix, increased energy security, creation of business opportunities, cheaper solar technology.

Description: Innovation is a key driver of economic growth, development, as well as climate mitigation and adaptation. In emerging markets, new high-quality and modular technologies, such as AI, advanced GIS mapping, remote monitoring, new control software and systems, as well as innovative energy storage solutions are helping drive last-mile rural electrification with decentralised renewable energy (DRE).

These technologies boost efficiency of systems, increase their longevity and technical sustainability, help project developers better estimate demand,  increase financial sustainability of projects, mitigate climate change and help communities respond to health crises, for example via the deployment of modular health clinics for rural communities.

If technology can be seen as a vehicle to achieve development, then investments and financing are the fuel that help drive its engine and bring these innovations to market. Investing in technological innovation is thus investing in the future of DRE sector, progress on all the SDGs and rural socio-economic development.

In light of these recognitions, ARE will organise the “ARE Technology & Innovation Forum” virtually on 27-28 January 2021.
