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.

Organizer: ESI Africa
Description: Zambia’s power sector is undergoing a structural shift driven by hydrological volatility, tariff reforms, and increasing demand for reliable, cost-effective electricity among commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers. This has accelerated interest in distributed renewable energy solutions, particularly solar PV paired with battery energy storage systems.
Recent regulatory adjustments and private sector participation are opening pathways for embedded generation, wheeling frameworks, and corporate PPAs, positioning Zambia as a compelling frontier market for C&I energy investments.
Date & Time: 2 July 2026 at 2 pm CEST
Organizer: ESI Africa
Description: Following ARE’s recent rebranding to the Alliance for Renewable Electrification, Commercial & Industrial (C&I) electrification has become a key pillar of the organisation’s expanded mandate. As businesses and industries seek cleaner, more reliable, and cost-effective energy solutions, C&I electrification is emerging as a key driver of sustainable economic growth in emerging and developing markets.
The upcoming Innovation for Electrification (I4E) webinar will explore how decentralised renewable energy (DRE) solutions are helping C&I users replace fossil fuel-based energy with clean electricity to power operations, improve resilience, and reduce costs and emissions.
Join us as we dive into practical applications, business models, and technologies enabling reliable, affordable, low-emission energy access across sectors including digital infrastructure, industrial production and processing, urban commerce, agri-processing, transport, logistics, and other energy-intensive industries.
The webinar will feature expert insights from ARE Members, followed by a live Q&A with participants.

Description: Clean cooking is receiving growing attention globally, with financing and investment recognised as pivotal to reversing the slow progress and achieving SDG 7. However, investment data on the sector remain scarce, and existing datasets often lack the project-level detail that governments and investors need for informed decisions. As a result, capital is sometimes directed toward enterprises unable or unwilling to absorb it, or delivered using instruments that do not match companies’ needs, hindering effective disbursement of already limited funds. Without targeted efforts to generate and share robust data, initiatives directed towards garnering support and investments towards clean cooking are likely to face reduced success.
