IRENA co-organised two events at European Utility Week 2018, covering 'Managing A High Renewable System' and 'Electric Vehicles and Renewable Energy Powering the Transport Sector'.
IRENA organised the 1st International Conference on Renewable Energy for Healthcare in Singapore on 2 November 2018 immediately after the 4th International Off-Grid Renewable Energy Conference and Exhibition (IOREC).
IOREC, organised by IRENA, is the global platform for sharing experience and best practices on design and implementation of enabling policies, tailored financing schemes, innovative business models and technology applications for stand-alone and mini-grid systems. IOREC 2018 presented a key opportunity to discuss the measures necessary to accelerate off-grid systems deployment, and highlight their role in meeting several Sustainable Development Goals.
Following the success of the previous two sessions of International Forum on Energy Transitions, the National Energy Administration of China (NEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government of China once again cooperated to co-host the third International Forum on Energy Transitions, 18 – 19 October 2018 in Suzhou, China.
Taking place during the 2019 Scenarios Forum, the session titled “Renewable-based Electrification: How can we Improve Scenarios for Clean Energy Transition?” addressed how long-term energy scenarios can better account for the potentially transformational changes related to renewables-based electrification.
The theme for Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) 2018 and its programme line-up was unveiled at the SIEW 2018 Global Launch on 27 March 2018.
