As one of the custodians of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 on energy, IRENA will prominently participate in the 2022 Sustainable Energy for All Forum.

Two-day online workshop was realised to follow up on the high-priority issues identified by regional participants in the 2019 IRENA AVRIL workshop and to align IRENA’s efforts with the ongoing efforts towards establishment of a regional North African masterplan.

The workshop aimed to discuss the issues constraining the energy transition efforts with renewable energy deployment and identify opportunities to address issues and put forward short-medium term implementation action plans.

In this final session for the programme, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Central African Power Pool (CAPP) Secretariat, and country stakeholders reviewed the regional modelling results that have been achieved based on the work of the participants.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in collaboration with the Government of Guinea and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) country office organised a workshop on 13-14 February 2024 in Conakry.

The Summit focused on delivering innovative green growth and climate finance solutions for Africa and the world.

In partnership with the Central Africa Power Pool (CAPP), IRENA has launched a second phase of regional training on energy model analysis and planning for CAPP countries.

The workshop aimed to tackle the growing disparity in energy access and the urgent need for accelerated progress towards universal and sustainable energy.

The capacity building workshop was realised as a two-day online workshop on 14-15 November 2022.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in collaboration with the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), the West African Power Pool (WAPP), the ECOWAS Regional Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERERA) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH organised a capacity building programme on the design of bankable renewable energy power purchase agreements (PPAs) for ECOWAS Member States.

The session covered presentations on methodology for developing the IRENA’s SolarCity simulator with a demonstration.

In partnership with the Central Africa Power Pool (CAPP), IRENA has launched a second phase of regional training on energy model analysis and planning for CAPP countries.

IRENA organised the third, in a series of four week-long trainings, for a team of African modellers developing Africa Continental Power System Masterplan (CMP).

The webinar will discuss opportunities and solutions to scale-up renewable energy adoption in the Mano River Union (MRU) region comprising Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

IRENA has been supporting the government of Cameroon for the implementation of this capacity building programme to enhance energy planning capacity within national institutions on Long-term planning through training on the SPLAT model and the development of energy scenarios.
