SUMMARY:End User Subsidy Lab: Productive Uses of Renewable Energy Webinar
DESCRIPTION:GOGLA invites you to attend our upcoming webinar “End User Subsidy Lab: Productive Uses of Renewable Energy (PURE) - Webinar Series - Part 1” on 15th of May 2024. \nAlthough PURE markets are still nascent and limited experience exists in the delivery of subsidy programs\, subsidy-based programs are seen as to play a critical role in building the market and enabling companies to reach more people with a wider array of off-grid solutions\, i.e.\, solar water pumps and solar fridges. At a time where a growing number of stakeholders are in the process of designing and conceptualizing demand-side subsidy (DSS) programs aiming to accelerate the scaling up uptake of PURE appliances\, gathering lessons learnt and sharing knowledge seem a necessary step to improve the design and implementation of ongoing and future DSS programs. \nThe webinars will aim at stimulating the needed discussion and sharing knowledge that can play a key role in designing and implementation of smart PURE DSS programs within the context of nascent markets. While the first webinar will look at ideation and conceptual framework of current DSS programs\, the second webinar will look at showcasing experiences and lessons learned for existing models.

SUMMARY:GSMA webinar - Digitalising Innovative Finance: Carbon credits and results-based financing
DESCRIPTION:There is a large funding gap for essential services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The OECD estimates that $6.9 trillion a year is required up to 2030 to meet climate and SDG objectives. While there is a broad consensus among the donor community that private capital should be mobilised to help fill the funding gap\, initiatives to ‘crowd-in’ private sector capital have so far fallen short of expectations. \nStart-ups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) often struggle to access the right type of financing to achieve impact at scale. This is common in sectors that face regulatory risks such as utility services\, asset-heavy models (e.g. e-mobility\, energy or productive use equipment) or services targeting low-income customers (e.g. clean cooking\, water\, sanitation and hygiene\, or off-grid solar). \nThe GSMA Digital Utilities programme and Mondato Insights recently published a report on the role of digital technology in enabling access to innovative financing instruments to early-stage start-ups\, SMEs\, and service providers in LMICs. \nIn our two-part webinar series on the report\, we are focusing on some of the financing instruments that were covered\, and invite key experts and practitioners to share their perspectives. \nThis first webinar focusses on the role of digital technology in making access to results-based financing and carbon credits more efficient\, transparent and catalytic. \nWe will be joined by a great group of speakers from start-ups\, the private sector and enabling organisations that are directly involved in leveraging digital tools for significant results-based financing (RBF) and carbon credit programmes. \nSpeakers:\n- Zach White\, Senior Insights Manager\, GSMA Digital Utilities\n- Samuel Miles\, Consultant\, Mondato Insights & Chancellor's Fellow UC Berkeley\n- George Kibala Bauer\, Director\, GSMA Digital Utiltiies\n- Susan Smith\, VP Finance Solutions - Public Sector\, Odyssey\n- Stefan Zelazny\, Managing Director\, Access to Energy Institute\n- Kyle Hamilton\, Senior Manager - Strategy and Partnerships\, Nuru\n- Ben Jeffreys\, CEO\, ATEC\n- Daniel Kammen\, James and Katherine Lau Distinguished Professor of Sustainability\, University of California Berkeley

SUMMARY:Future of Energy
DESCRIPTION:On 29 February & 1 March 2024\, FMO and Solarplaza will host the 'Future of Energy' summit in Amsterdam\, uniting a global mix of top project developers\, financial institutions and investors\, service providers\, and asset owners to tackle the strategic challenges of accelerating the renewable energy transition in emerging markets. \nThe global energy and climate future hinges on emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) to successfully transition to clean energy systems. For EMDEs\, accelerating the deployment of renewables can bolster their energy access and security\, reduce reliance on fossil fuels\, and meet net-zero targets. Currently\, only a fraction of global clean energy investments flows into EMDEs. How can we redirect attention and financial efforts to the developing world and harness the potential of RE technology to overcome regional challenges related to uncertain policy frameworks\, the rising cost of capital\, and the perceived increase of investment risks? \n'Future of Energy' is a must-attend event for everyone rising to the challenge of RE project development & financing in Asia\, Africa\, Latin America\, and Eastern Europe. The scope of this 5th edition will encompass renewables in the broadest sense\, including hybrid (wind & solar) applications\, green hydrogen\, energy storage\, e-mobility\, distributed energy\, and grid infrastructure. Through networking opportunities\, interactive panel discussions\, and world-class keynotes\, 'Future of Energy' will condense a year of business development into two days of learning\, network-building\, and good fun!
