Description: Realizing a solar project of any size is a major undertaking requiring a wide variety of expertise. A “relay race” approach, passing a project between different teams, can result in hidden costs and missed opportunities – even where each team has the made the best decision it could. In this pv magazine Webinar, we see how an eye on the bigger picture can ensure that an optimization in one department doesn’t create a catastrophe in another.

Organizer: ESI Africa

Description: This webinar explores the shift from data export to data ownership, positioning data centres not simply as technology assets, but as foundational infrastructure for economic competitiveness, national security and industrial growth. As hyperscalers expand into African markets and governments push for localisation, the conversation is moving from policy ambition to physical deployment.

However, scaling digital infrastructure is not just a demand story, it is a systems challenge. Power availability, connectivity, regulatory alignment and investment readiness will ultimately determine where and how capacity is built. At the same time, utilisation gaps and uneven market maturity raise critical questions around timing, demand conversion and long-term sustainability.

This session brings together perspectives across investment, infrastructure and technology to examine what it will take to build domestic compute capacity at scale. It sets the foundation for the in-person Data Centre Summit at Enlit Africa, advancing the conversation from strategic framing to implementation.

Description: Climate change poses escalating risks to power systems worldwide, threatening critical infrastructure and the secure, continuous supply of electricity. Both extreme weather events and long-term stressors such as rising temperatures demand proactive action to address vulnerabilities in power infrastructure. Integrating climate resilience into the planning, design, and operation of power assets is essential to ensure stable and sustainable power systems for the future – especially as electrification increases across all sectors.

IRENA’s report Enhancing Resilience: Climate-proofing Power Infrastructure underscores the urgent need to strengthen power system resilience to climate impacts and extreme weather. Drawing on global case studies, it provides guidance for policymakers, regulators, and utilities to embed climate considerations into power system planning, investment, and broader energy transition strategies.

Description: The rapid expansion of electric vehicles is driving unprecedented demand for critical materials. Meeting a 1.5°C-aligned pathway requires EV battery production to grow fivefold by 2030, intensifying pressure on lithium, cobalt and nickel supply chains that remain highly concentrated and vulnerable.

Sodium-ion batteries offer a strategic alternative. Based on abundant and widely distributed materials, they can reduce dependence on critical minerals, diversify supply chains, and enhance resilience. While not a universal replacement for lithium-ion technologies, sodium-ion systems are increasingly viable for specific EV segments and stationary storage applications. This session explores future battery chemistry pathways toward 2030, highlighting how accelerated deployment of sodium-ion can ease material constraints while supporting rapid electrification. It will also outline key policy actions to foster innovation, strengthen circularity, and build more resilient and sustainable battery value chains.
