Unlocking Solar Capital Africa event to explore solutions to Africa’s solar energy funding gap

Investment risks and opportunities, disruptive technologies and public private partnerships will be top of the agenda

Although Sub-Saharan Africa boasts 60% of the world’s solar resources, it currently only hosts 1% of the global solar PV capacity and 600 million people lack energy access – over 50% of its population. The region is crucial to the acceleration of the renewable energy transition and it is at a turning point, with falling construction costs, an abundance of solar irradiation, and a buzzing investment climate: renewable energy additions are set to overshadow fossil fuel-based energy generation facilities this decade. Recent figures show that over $20 billion has already been invested in solar over the past decade – and there will be a doubling of energy investments by 2030.  

The exchange of knowledge and network is more critical than ever, so Solarplaza – the global platform for network & knowledge sharing in the PV industry – and GOGLA – the voice of the off-grid solar industry – are proud to join forces again to organize the 5th edition of the Unlocking Solar Capital Africa conference in Kampala, Uganda on 31 May and 1 June. 

The event will bring together international and local solar developers, investors and policymakers to unlock finance and develop bankable projects that are key to securing Africa’s clean energy future. The program is shaped together with an advisory board that gathers leading local renewable energy associations, e-mobility, distributors, mini-grids, investors and technical advisors:

  • Challenges such as the flexibility and reliability of the grid to expand growth in the region
  • Affordability for end-users
  • Latest capital pathways to support the industry’s healthy growth
  • Full range of technologies and applications like utility-scale plants, mini-grids, small-scale off-grid installations, battery storage
  • Innovations in financing, software tools, and design

Join us to shape the solar energy future of Sub-Saharan Africa!
