Africa Energy Forum: Off the Grid

The Africa Energy Forum: Off the Grid is co-located with the East Africa Energy and Infrastructure Summit, taking place in Kampala from the 6 to 8 February, 2018, and held with the official endorsement of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development for Uganda.

The programme will examine themes such as tackling risk in financing off grid projects, the growth of energy storage, the future of home solar technology, mapping off grid developments, financing off grid projects and inspiring community engagement with micro-grid development. 

Amongst those already confirmed to participate are the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum for Kenya, the World Bank, KfW, Power Africa, Electricity Regulatory Authority (Uganda), UMEME, DLA Piper, Shell New Energies, OPIC, M-KOPA, ENGIE Africa, Energise Africa and Fieldstone.
