NEW DATE Friday 19th February
10:00am EST/ 4:00pm CET
Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) is inviting you to join the Achieving Economies of Scale in the Nigerian Solar Value Chain Webinar. This event will take place on Friday 19 February 2021.
SEforALL, with support from All On, has been seeking to create a sustainable framework for the solar systems industry in Nigeria through increased electrification and localization of the upstream value chain.
This webinar will present SEforALL’s key findings to showcase the Nigerian market opportunity to international stakeholders by demonstrating that focused implementation of key enablers in existing policies, access to data, low-cost finance, and capital investments provide the best pathway to local value creation and electricity access.
In addition, SEforALL will present results from the data platform used to identify and locate target households for the Solar Power Naija programme. The webinar will also convene global and regional leaders who will discuss how they can support to achieve the localization of solar value chains in Nigeria.
