Join Tomorrow’s Workshop Featuring New Partners and Practical Insights on Emerging Technologies, Starting at 10 a.m.

The speaker wraps up the current session by providing a brief outlook on the following day's workshop. The event will be held at the same location, starting at 10 a.m., with an extended schedule until 2 p.m. that includes a lunch option. This year's format has been updated to include new partners such as the Africa Mini Grid Developers Association and UNIDO ITBO, along with recurring collaborators like BMZ and InterSolar. These partnerships have enriched the program, bringing in practitioners and companies to share their experiences with various technologies discussed during today's session—though not specifically from island companies. Participants are encouraged to join tomorrow's more experience-driven discussions and can access detailed information via a QR code or physical programs available on-site. The speaker concludes by thanking all contributors for their cooperation and wishing everyone a pleasant afternoon before transitioning to any soccer-related activities planned for later in the day.

Talk of session: Off-Grid: Pioneering 100% Renewables: Opportunities and Challenges of Off-Grid in Island and Remote Environments

Small islands and remote areas contend with heightened costs in energy and its access, water, and waste, exacerbated by climate change. Scaling renewables, creating decentralized smart grids, and integrating storage solutions emerge as pivotal strategies to bolster resilience and spur socio-economic development. Islands and remote areas, serving as testbeds, exemplify the feasibility of decarbonization. This panel discussion provides a platform to delve into these specific insights from islands and remote areas, shedding light on the transformative role of renewables in empowering communities, accelerating transitions, and serving as models for sustainable development.
