The Solar Week Nigeria 2024
2024-09-12 | Sandralia Hotel Limited, 1 Solomon Lar road, Abuja, 900108, Nigeria
Welcome to the 3rd Edition of Solar Week Nigeria 2024, where we bring together the brightest minds and most influential leaders in the solar energy industry across West Africa. This year's conference comes at a pivotal moment, as Nigeria continues its ambitious journey towards a sustainable energy future. The Nigerian government has set significant clean energy goals, including achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions between 2050 and 2070 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% to 45% by 2030​​.
Nigeria's solar sector has seen remarkable growth, supported by government initiatives like the NaijaSolar Power Project, which aims to connect 5 million off-grid households to solar power, and substantial foreign investments exceeding USD 227 million​​. The country’s Energy Transition Plan and favorable policies aim to increase the share of renewable energy in the national energy mix, significantly expanding solar, wind, and biomass energy projects​​. Additionally, Nigeria targets providing electricity access to 80% of the population by 2030 and 100% by 2040​​.
As part of this dynamic event, we will explore the latest advancements in solar photovoltaic technologies, innovative business models, and the impact of regulatory frameworks on market development. Our comprehensive agenda includes keynote speeches, panel discussions, technical sessions, and an awards ceremony to honor the exceptional contributions of solar leaders in driving Nigeria’s clean energy targets.
Join us at Solar Week Nigeria 2024 to engage with industry pioneers, discover new opportunities, and contribute to the growing momentum of the solar revolution in West Africa. Together, we can illuminate the path to a sustainable and resilient energy future.

Great future ahead for those looking to invest in Mozambique’s energy transition.
Join us to understand the market and network with key stakeholders of the public and private sector!
Junte-se a nós e faça parte da conversa!
Date: 12 of September
Time: 09:00 – 17:30 hrs
Place: Maputo, Mozambique (in-person)
Languages: Portuguese and English (simultaneous translation, tradução simultânea)
Large scale renewable projects are becoming a point of interest for investment in Mozambique. The entity in charge of promoting renewable energy access, FUNAE, projects that IPP capacity of on-grid RE sources will increase to 575 MW by 2030. And the numbers will only increase as Mozambique seeks to leverage its abundant renewable resources and the government estimates that it will require $80 billion USD of public and private investment between now and 2050 .
With the unveiling of the Just Energy Transition Strategy (JETS) early this year, Mozambique is setting the roadmap to attract new investment and create strategic partnerships by focusing on key four pillars:
1. Modernizing the Energy Mix with more Renewables,
2. Fast-tracking to a Green Industrialization,
3. Universal Access to Modern Energy, and
4. Adopting Clean Transport.
All aligned with the global clean energy agenda in combating climate change.
As a developing country, less than 53% of its population have access to energy. Off and On Grid solutions combined with Renewables – Solar, Wind, Hydro + Storage – will play a pivotal role in reaching Universal Electrification and assist in the country’s growing economy by becoming a regional green energy hub.
Mozambique’s implementation of the JETS will require major investments in new technologies associated with the creation of a Green Hydrogen market, infrastructure and equipment costs, regulatory reforms, as well as the digitalization and training of talent to positively impact the energy transition.
Come prepared to NETWORK!
