GWNET: Global Women's Network for the Energy Transition’s Post

Diversity and Inclusion Matter in the Energy Sector. Women in the fuel and energy industry are transforming communities, driving innovation, and inspiring future generations. I’m proud to be part of an organization leading the charge in this inclusivity evolution. To truly create a sustainable and inclusive future, we must dismantle barriers to women’s participation across the entire value chain. It’s not just the right thing to do—it’s the smart way to ensure progress and prosperity beyond business. At BP, we’re proud to be leading the way. #DiversityAndInclusion #WomenInLeadership #EnergyForTheFuture

Following my selection to participate in the Women in Power System Transformation Program (W-PST) at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Colorado, US, I embarked on this exciting opportunity on June 17th! The W-PST program—formally launched at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, funded by USAID and implemented through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) _ NREL and the G-PST Consortium, was created to address educational and professional barriers to women’s entry and advancement in power system operation organizations. This initiative aims to support women, in all their diversity, to take an active role in the decarbonization of power systems. By fostering gender diversity, equity, and inclusion, we can strengthen decision-making, accelerate innovation, and drive dynamic solutions to tackle urgent global challenges. Having kick-started my career at Africa GreenCo where I serve as an Engineer and Research Lead, I am honored to be part of this program alongside 4 other women and excited to contribute to the mission of achieving a successful, inclusive, and equitable clean energy transition. This opportunity not only allows me to grow professionally but also to be part of a movement that promotes the economic and social empowerment of women worldwide. "I know the power of women in leadership. It is a power that can create a better world, a future that we all want." — Oprah Winfrey #WomenInEnergy #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #PowerSystemTransformation

Camco is eying financial close on our Transforming Island Development through Electrification and Sustainability (TIDES) fund after securing a new grant from Convergence Blended Finance, the global network for blended finance. TIDES is a USD 100 million blended finance vehicle for the Pacific aimed at providing flexible financing to local renewable energy developers while crowding in private finance. TIDES has a strong gender equality angle and the funding from Convergence was awarded through its Gender-Responsive Climate Finance Design Funding Window. Paul Makumbe, Regional Director - Pacific, Camco, said: “We are hugely grateful to Convergence for awarding us this latest grant, which will enable us to reach financial close and launch TIDES. “TIDES represents a significant step towards addressing energy security and climate resilience in the Pacific Islands. By integrating gender equity into our investment strategy, we aim not only to provide sustainable energy solutions but also to empower women and girls, fostering economic opportunities and community resilience. Our commitment is to ensure that renewable energy projects benefit all members of the community, creating a lasting positive impact.” Convergence previously provided TIDES with a grant for early-stage support. 🔗 For more, read Convergence’s official press release here: https://lnkd.in/ePX6D8Pm #blendedfinance #renewableenergy #genderresponsive #pacific #pacificislandcountries #climateresilience

Delighted to share that the publication of the article coauthored with Dr Reihana Mohideen in Oxford Open Energy, which is especially heartwarming as it reflects the real-world impact of Asian Development Bank (ADB) initiatives. The article delves into the inclusive and equitable energy transition strategies implemented through Asian Development Bank (ADB)'s “Preparing Outer Islands for Sustainable Energy Development” project. This piece stands as a testament to the tangible difference we’re making on the ground, paving the way for a brighter, more sustainable future for all. 🌏💡 I would like to dedicate this article to the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy, Maldives, Fenaka Corporation Limited State Electric Company Ltd, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Fisheries, Marine Resources and Agriculture and other stakeholders who work closely with ADB. Also acknowledge the cofinancing partners for their support - European Investment Bank (EIB) Climate Investment Funds Ministry of the Environment, Japan #JFJCM European Union. "It is important to acknowledge the crucial role of the Project Management Unit (PMU) consisting of national and international experts in identifying and nurturing inclusive interventions, regardless of the substantial time and effort invested in their development. The PMU plays a vital role in facilitating the creation and sustenance of these interventions, underscoring their significance in promoting equity and accessibility in renewable energy initiatives." The significance of this article is perhaps the actual impact the intervention has created on the ground. José A.

Empowerment knows no bounds. As businesswoman, #DJZinhle wisely reminds us in her quote , "Women are as capable as men and this needs to be the focus of our education, that women can be whatever they want to be.” It's time to shift the narrative. She affirms that women are just as innovative as men. At Arete, as a skills development platform with the express purpose of encouraging and enabling diversity in the renewable energy sector, we stand firm in the belief that every woman has the power to pursue her dreams and shape her destiny. Be a catalyst for progress with Arete Africa. Together, we can dismantle barriers, empower diverse voices, and chart a course towards a thriving renewable energy sector in Africa. Don't wait—collaborate with us today. #Arete #RenewableEnergy #ExplorePrograms #SkillsDevelopment
