Praia – Tuesday, September 3, 2024 – The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) has announced the 9th edition of the ECOWAS Sustainable Energy Forum (ESEF) 2024. The event is scheduled to take place in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, from November 28 to 29, 2024.
In recent years, ESEF has become a leading energy event in West Africa, attracting stakeholders from around the globe. Building on last year’s success in Cabo Verde, this year’s forum will focus on the theme “Towards a Just Energy Transition in the ECOWAS region.” The forum aims to bring together policymakers, industry leaders, and global experts to discuss strategies for addressing the region’s energy challenges and leveraging opportunities for transitioning to clean and affordable energy solutions.
The main objectives of the forum include:
– Fostering concrete advancements towards achieving the region’s sustainable energy targets;
– Showcasing and facilitating investment opportunities in the region’s sustainable energy sector;
– Providing a platform for networking and improving the policy and regulatory landscape for private sector investment through engagement between ECOWAS policymakers, regional and international private sector players, and financial institutions;
– Presenting opportunities for a just energy transition in West Africa through promoting energy efficiency, clean cooking, green hydrogen, electric mobility, the energy-water-food nexus, gender mainstreaming in energy access, among others.
The forum will be held alongside the first edition of the International Exhibition of Extractive and Energy Industries (SIREXE), organized by Côte d’Ivoire’s Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Energy. SIREXE will take place from November 27 to December 2.
Interested parties are encouraged to join ESEF to contribute to shaping the future of sustainable energy in West Africa.
