SUMMARY:Africa Renewable Investment Summit (ARIS 2025) - Cape Town
DESCRIPTION:Africa holds the world’s largest untapped renewable energy potential\, yet of the over US$3 trillion invested globally in clean energy to date\, less than 2% has reached African markets. This imbalance isn’t due to a lack of opportunity—it’s due to a disconnect between capital and viable projects. \nThe Africa Renewables Investment Summit (ARIS) was created to close that gap. \nARIS is a resultsdriven platform designed to connect bankable projects with the right capital\, partners\, and policy support. Through initiatives like the Africa Renewables Marketplace\, targeted matchmaking sessions\, and policy dialogue forums\, ARIS facilitates direct engagement between investors\, developers\, governments\, and utilities to unlock real-time investment opportunities. \nJoin us in transforming Africa’s renewable energy potential into investment-ready realities.

SUMMARY:Webinar - The path to universal energy access in an era of shrinking aid
DESCRIPTION:Achieving universal energy access looks more challenging than ever. Faced with geopolitical and domestic pressures\, traditional donor countries\, including the United States\, the UK\, France\, and Germany have slashed their aid budgets and redirected their focus to defence and deficit reduction. \nWhat does this mean for the 600-plus million people who remain without electricity in Africa? \nThe answers are complex. African governments and private sector representatives are seeking to reduce reliance on foreign aid\, emphasising home-grown solutions to further electrification as a key step to improve the lives of Africans. Additionally. whilst aid from western nations is declining\, there are signs that countries from across the Middle East and Asia are stepping up to bridge the gap\, raising questions about the political influence they may seek in return. \nIf you find these issues fascinating\, join the panel of experts to exchange knowledge and chart the way forward for rural electrification and universal energy access in Africa. \nMain themes in this webinar: \n\nFind out how governments across Africa are adapting to achieve universal energy access on their own terms\nUnderstand the role of renewable energy and decentralised models in bolstering electrification and economic development across the continent\nLearn more about commercially sustainable models that seek to accelerate the rate of electrification whilst reducing reliance on aid and subsidies.\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnita Otubu \n\n\n\n\nSenior Director\nUEF at SEforALL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOlamide Niyi-Afuye \n\n\n\n\nChief Executive Officer\nAMDA

SUMMARY:Webinar - IEA Financing electricity access in Africa
DESCRIPTION:Access to electricity is a cornerstone of economic development\, poverty reduction and social equity. However\, almost 600 million people in Africa lack access to electricity today\, with progress falling far behind the targets set by both African governments and the international community. \nIn a new report\, Financing Electricity Access in Africa\, the IEA provides in-depth analysis of the spending required to close this gap. Based on first-of-its-kind tracking of public and private investment flows\, it outlines the financial measures needed to achieve universal access. \nThis online event will present the key findings of the report\, followed by a panel discussion on key challenges and potential solutions. The discussion will feature insights from a range of stakeholders working to expand electricity access across the continent. This will be followed by an interactive Q&A session.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Energy-as-a-Service - Learning from SolarAid’s Light a Village Pilot in Malawi
DESCRIPTION:Although cash sales and PAYGo models have provided Tier 1 electricity access across rural sub-Saharan Africa\, they remain unaffordable to\, and are not reaching\, the poorest and most remote communities. Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) presents an alternative approach by spreading costs over a longer time period and guaranteeing sustained energy access for customers. While EaaS is a well-established business model in developed markets and in commercial and industrial applications\, its use as a service delivery model for first-time household electrification is still relatively nascent. This webinar series will present findings from an independent evaluation of EaaS for first-time rural electrification\, commissioned by Energy Saving Trust and delivered by Greencroft Economics\, and explore how the model can be scaled to reach underserved populations. \n \nWebinar 1: Learning from SolarAid’s Light a Village Pilot in Malawi\nThe first webinar will introduce the EaaS model and draw on lessons from SolarAid’s Light a Village pilot in Malawi\, which delivered universal\, first-time electricity access to rural households in an area where 97% of population had no prior electricity access. In this pilot\, SolarAid is responsible for installation\, maintenance\, and customer service\, while households and schools pay a nominal daily fee to activate their system. The pilot has been funded through several phases by a range of partners\, including through the national Ngwee Ngwee Ngwee Fund. The session will present key findings from the pilot\, drawing on operational lessons and customer usage / payment data. It will also delve into insights around affordability\, utilisation and sustainability\, based on the research report’s analysis of how EaaS can be designed to maximise cost-effectiveness and impact. \nSpeakers: \nLaura Fortes\, GOGLA\nJakub Vrba\, Energy Saving Trust\nEd Day\, Greencroft Economics\nDaphne Pit\, Greencroft Economics\nBrave Mhonie\, SolarAid\nAustin Theu\, Government of Malawi\nMfumu Kuseni\, GIZ / EnDev Malawi
