Sub-Saharan Africa’s commercial and industrial (C&I) sector faces relatively high electricity tariffs and an often unreliable grid which further exacerbates costs. Businesses can hedge their energy costs, lock in savings and diversify their energy sources with on-site solar. This webinar will help you understand the current status of the C&I solar market in the region and discuss risks and opportunities in the sector.
You will discover:
The economics of on-site solar compared to the grid
What types of customers are using on-site solar
What business models vendors are using successfully
The regulatory and financing landscape for the sector
Join if:
You work in a financial institution (public or private) and you want to understand opportunities and risk in the African C&I solar market
You are developing solar projects in Africa and need an overview of the market
You work in a development agency or as a policy maker and want to discover ways to accelerate solar markets in Africa
