The Ghana Energy Transition and Investment Plan is a testament to Ghana’s commitment to a sustainable future. Built on Ghana's Energy Transition Framework, this pioneering blueprint charts Ghana’s path to net-zero emissions by 2060. #GhanaEnergyPlan #SustainableFuture

“The objectives of the Energy Transition Plan are: 📌Plan for the energy system needed to support Uganda’s rapid economic development. 📌Articulate a realistic, yet ambitious scenario for providing universal access to electricity and clean cooking in line with SDG7. 📌Provide the groundwork for Uganda to undertake an Integrated Energy Resource Plan. 📌Serve as a tool to engage with international actors on Uganda’s energy needs related to development, energy security, managing affordability, and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. 📌Inform conversations on unlocking more finance, especially in the context of Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETP) or similar policy tools at COP 28,” says Eng. Batebe Irene Pauline.

#Carbonmarkets are going to play a big role in the energy transition, especially within Africa, but we have to embrace it with caution and ensure we get it right. NJ Ayuk JD, MBA., African Energy Chamber. Also with: Stephen Comello, EFI Foundation Fahad Alajlan, KAPSARC Dr Mari Luomi, KAPSARC

Kenya is leading the charge towards increased adoption of renewable energy in East Africa. Don't miss out on pivotal discussions where key stakeholders from the region's #carbonmarkets will analyze current carbon market regulations and delve into other essential themes, including climate finance in East Africa and showcase investment opportunities in the region.

Investing in Africa’s energy market goes beyond financial considerations and gains. It is a commitment to energy accessibility, affordability and sustainability to ensure a net zero future. #Tetracore #TetracoreEnergyGroup #SustainableFuture

In emerging markets, there is an imperative need to increase investments in clean energy by sevenfold to achieve SDGs by 2030. 👉At ARE, we believe in the power of collaboration and investment to drive change, so we invite you to the ARE Energy Access Investment Forum (EAIF) 2024. During #EAIF2024, we will focus on ✅ Energy transition through blended finance ✅ Data collection & electrification planning ✅ Power components & manufacturing ✅ Carbon credits ✅ Growth capital ✅ Powering industries ✅ Interconnecting DRE & main grids ✅ Green job creation ✅ Productive use of renewable energy ✅ Circularity practices Join us on 21-23 May in Lagos (#Nigeria) to get the latest insights and network with the key players in the sector: https://www.eaif.energy #EAIF2024 is organised by the Alliance for Rural Electrification, co-hosted by: European Union Delegation to the Federal Republic of Nigeria and ECOWAS, and supported by: GET.invest #EnergyAccess #EnergyInvestment #Nigeria #Lagos #EAIF #EnergyAccessInvestmentForum

Such an important gathering of renewable energy experts in Nigeria!!

Attracting investments into renewables requires a holistic approach. There is need to attract private sector investment into the energy space, especially local finance. To improve adoption, we need to simplify the identification of projects and make it easier for investors to deploy and earn returns from their capital. Local pension funds can be mobilised to help provide long term finance making projects viable. Governments need to ensure stable economic environment supported by consistent policies. #renewableenergyinvestment #investinrenewables #supportrenewables #sustainability #climateaction https://lnkd.in/danAuGRi Download the report here https://lnkd.in/dhuttv-C

According to Adesina, tackling climate change, Africa’s infrastructure gap, and unlocking industrial manufacturing capacities requires attracting private sector financing at scale. To achieve this objective, he outlined several actions that should be initiated by multilateral institutions. “First, we must develop bankable projects and make them available to private investors.” “Second, private sector development strategies must be aligned with the net-zero emission objective, with green investments prioritised.” “Third, we should mitigate global risks and pool resources to optimise investment strategies.” African Development Bank Group #whyafrica #africa #investment #whyinvestinafrica #energy #greenenergy #africanenergy #hydrogen #greenhydrogen #germany #benin, #burkinafaso, #Côted’Ivoire #DRC #egypt, #ethiopia, #ghana #guinea #morocco #rwanda #senegal #togo #tunisia.   https://lnkd.in/e9CFaaW9

CarbonClear launched on behalf of USAID and Power Africa The Carbon credits for off-grid solar in Sub-Saharan Africa Carbon credits are an increasingly attractive way for African off-grid companies to supplement their revenue streams. Africa’s voluntary carbon market can significantly grow its share of the global market, offering strong potential for climate finance and sustainable development. To help off-grid solar companies thrive in the carbon-credit market, Power Africa and CarbonClear have crafted a resource that covers it all: The evolving voluntary carbon market and Africa's pivotal role. Emerging standards, methodologies, and risk factors in carbon offsetting. Pricing and project-design approaches. Valuable lessons for African off-grid companies venturing into carbon-credit programs.
