Date: 17 November 2022

Location: Maputo and online

Description: On November 17th, Thursday, will take place in Maputo the hybrid event “Renewables for Industry and Agriculture in Mozambique”.

Given the challenges faced by the agricultural and industrial sector regarding energy access, renewable energies are the solution to contribute and boost the reliability, profitability and sustainability of agricultural and industrial projects. In a country like Mozambique, with an advanced market for the supply of renewable energies, it is necessary to raise awareness and inform professionals in the agricultural and industrial sector about the benefits that they can obtain from renewables.

In this context, the event “Renewables for Industry and Agriculture in Mozambique” is the starting point to clarify the technical and financial concepts of renewable energy projects, raise awareness and provide more information about energy access opportunities, increase demand of renewable energies by the industrial and agricultural sectors, promote investment and financing for the private sector, disseminating lines of credit and other mechanisms of assistance to the financing of projects.

This event will be simultaneously transmited online, and offers the opportunity for companies and investors to present their products and services to the agricultural and industrial sector.

For this purpose, several pitch sessions will be held during this day, complemented by networking opportunities for all the participants. More than 100 participants are expected to participate, from which companies, investors and target audiences from the agricultural and industrial sector have the unique opportunity to come together to establish dialogues and ensure a fruitful exchange of benefits of renewable energies for the agricultural and industrial sector.

Date: 26 October 2022

Location: Lagos, Nigeria

Description: Nigeria is to install 600 MW of C&I solar in view of a 1 GW plan by 2030, as recently announced by the Lagos State and the World Bank. This is a promising signal at a time the country is seeking for renewable energy to contribute 30% to the available energy mix by 2030. With an estimated 85 million Nigerians (i.e. 43% of the country’s population) without access to grid electricity, the opportunities for developing clean power solutions and off-grid renewable in particular are big. While the focus in Nigeria seems to be on solar, other renewable energy solutions like wind farms, off-grid hydroelectric power and biofuels will have a significant contributing role. Investment in batteries, solar panels, inverters and other technologies is scaling up, featuring growing market opportunities for those companies providing innovative solutions and latest technology. Flexible financing options from commercial banks and other fund providers should keep backing to drive renewable investment in the country.
