Description: Water security is no longer simply an environmental issue, it has become a strategic business risk. Across South Africa, commercial and industrial organisations are facing increasing pressure from ageing municipal infrastructure, climate variability, rising operating costs and growing sustainability expectations.

For businesses that rely on a secure water supply, resilience has become essential to maintaining operations, protecting assets and supporting future growth. Leading organisations are responding by reducing dependence on municipal supply, improving water efficiency, investing in reuse and recycling, and adopting smarter approaches to water management.

Join Water Security Africa for an executive discussion with industry leaders who are actively transforming the way their organisations manage water.

Description: Developing a biomethane plant requires balancing technical, commercial, and regulatory considerations. Developers must evaluate infrastructure constraints, identify suitable business models, estimate CAPEX and OPEX, engage with key stakeholders, and anticipate potential project risks before reaching a final investment decision. Addressing these aspects early can significantly reduce delays, improve bankability, and increase the likelihood of successful project delivery.

Organizer: pv magazine

Description: From the initial stages of identifying land and available grid capacity, PV projects often move quickly into detailed system design. This can narrow the options very early in the process, and lead to missed opportunities for optimization. In this pv magazine Webinar, we examine common approaches to project design and introduce a strategy that can ensure more options are properly explored before committing.

From the very beginning of a PV project, engineers are faced with a wealth of decisions. Making the best use of available land and grid capacity will influence target DC size, racking, pitch and ground coverage ratio, inverter loading, storage scenarios, these are just a few.

And all of these early decisions interact with each other, greatly affecting the outcome. In this webinar, we’ll look at why early-stage PV and hybrid PV design is better understood as a search-space problem, and what can be missed when teams move too quickly from first assumptions into detailed design.

We examine how common project design workflows can narrow the range of options too early, and introduce a more exploratory approach: one that helps teams test more project directions, understand trade-offs sooner, and identify a stronger range before committing engineering effort to detailed design.

Description: Solar and wind are now the cheapest sources of new electricity in most of the world. As their share of generation grows, the decisive question is no longer the cost of producing clean electricity, but the cost of delivering it when it is needed - including around the clock.

IRENA's new report, 24/7 Renewables: The Economics of Firm Solar and Wind, examines what it costs to turn variable solar and wind output into a continuous, dependable supply. It introduces the firm levelised cost of electricity (firm LCOE): a transparent, project-level benchmark that adds the cost of battery storage, generation overbuild and complementary renewables to the conventional LCOE. Applying this metric across leading markets, the analysis finds that co-located solar, wind and battery systems at high-quality sites can already deliver round-the-clock electricity at USD 54-82 per MWh - at or below the cost of new coal- and gas-fired generation - with costs projected to fall by a further 30% by 2030.

The report also explains what drives these costs: resource quality and the depth of prolonged low-generation periods, technology and financing costs, system configuration, and the level of reliability targeted. It shows why combining solar and wind is usually cheaper than firming either technology alone, and why costs rise sharply beyond roughly 90% reliability. Beyond cost, it considers the speed of deployment, resilience and hedging value of hybrid renewable systems - and the market and policy reforms needed for these economics to translate into projects on the ground.

This webinar will present the report's key findings and discuss what they mean for utilities, investors, industrial buyers and policy makers.

Description: This webinar unpacks that trade-off. It examines the true, often-hidden water footprint of African data centres, onsite and offsite, the innovations (closed-loop, dry cooling, hybrid and liquid systems) being deployed to manage it, and the growing use of non-potable and recycled water in high-performance facilities.

It closes on the commercial stakes: how water intensity is increasingly scrutinised by financiers and ESG frameworks, and what it takes to design for water-stressed environments without compromising uptime.

Description: Chad’s energy transition has become a strategic lever to address energy poverty, strengthen energy security and support economic diversification in one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries. Chad faces very low electricity access, heavy reliance on traditional biomass and petroleum products, high electricity costs, and an unreliable supply. In the short to medium-term, scaling up abundant solar and wind resources, alongside decentralised renewable solutions, offers a viable pathway to expand access, power productive uses, and reduce fossil-fuel dependence.
