Capacity Building to Support Sustainable Implementation of DRE Solutions

Under their joint PWCET Series initiative, The Alliance for Rural Electrification and Green People’s Energy are organising the fourth event titled "Capacity Building to Support Sustainable Implementation of Decentralised Renewable Energy Solutions" at the OFF-GRID Expo + Conference on 2 December 2021 at 14.00-15.30 CET. The session will be hybrid; both physical and virtual participation is possible. You can join the session virtually for free. Please see the registration section below for details.

Electricity is an essential driver of development in rural and peri-urban communities, enabling essential services such as clean water, education and reliable health care services, and creates opportunities for developing income-generating activities. Yet, 870 million people currently lack access to safe, reliable and efficient electricity, while another 1.5 billion suffer from unreliable electricity services. As the DRE sector inevitably grows and the world moves towards universal electrification by 2030, it is of utmost importance that sustainability is embedded in all projects and that safety, efficiency and reliability become the cornerstone of rural electrification efforts. The solution to the sustainability challenge lies with the skills of the local workforce, which must be strengthened to deal with the monumental increase in decentralised electrification needs in the years to come.

The aim is to gather experts from the industry to outline the need for and importance of capacity building for the DRE sector and the achievement of all the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as to elaborate on experiences of DRE companies and stakeholders with capacity building in emerging markets.
