As some large companies have already achieved a 100 percent renewable energy supply - and many will do so soon − this is mostly achieved via virtual power purchase agreements (PPAs). The next big thing could be 24/7 RES coverage, meaning that all green power needed is procured at the time of consumption. This session will provide: Case studies for real-time renewable power production and consumption 24/7 Executive panel discussing the potential of 24/7 RES supply

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
