Carole Pontais, Uzbekistan Country Manager of Voltalia, shares valuable insights into why Uzbekistan is emerging as a highly bankable market for renewable energy investments. In this interview, Pontais discusses Voltalia’s ongoing projects in the country, including a 100 MW solar project in the Khorazan region and a 500 MW project in the Navoi region, and highlights the favorable conditions that make these projects financially viable. She explains how Uzbekistan’s robust contractor frameworks, supportive financing environment, and government incentives—such as 25-year bankable Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and tax incentives under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) law—are attracting a growing number of foreign investors. Discover why Voltalia and other international energy companies are choosing Uzbekistan as a key market for expansion and how the country is fostering an environment conducive to sustainable development and green energy growth.

More work needs to be done. Reforms must continue. We must encourage natural gas and downstream projects. We must look at developing petrochemicals. We must listen to the young people and understand that our job is not to be change-makers for today but for the future. #Angola Energy Capital & Power #Africa https://lnkd.in/dER7sfm7

Throw back to when I participated as a panelist during the Nigeria Energy Dialogue organized by GE Vernova in March. I discussed the topic "Securing Nigeria's Energy Future: Challenges and Opportunities," along with other notable speakers like Dr. Salihu Jamari, Olurotimi Famoroti, Kolapo Joseph, Michael Konadu, and Wale Adeleye. The questions addressed were around the biggest challenges facing the Nigerian electricity sector, and steps that can be taken by key stakeholders to make progress. We also looked at ways to reduce losses on our grid and improve reliable power supply. While the power sector's challenges are complex, they are not insurmountable. With the right strategies, investments, and collaborations, we can unlock its potential, sustain economic growth, and improve the quality of life for all Nigerians. Thank you GE Vernova for providing the platform for us to discuss and advance our country's power sector.

Investing in Renewable Energy: A Call to Action for Africa We must utilize every tool at our disposal to spread the message about renewable energy and hold accountable those who are not taking sufficient action. Our aim is to keep track of initiatives and motivate greater commitment to renewable energy access across Sub-Saharan Africa. We envision a future where governments, multilateral organizations, and bilateral development agencies come together and make a public commitment to investing in renewable energy for the region. By the time we reach COP29, we hope to see a significant coalition of organizations ready to announce transformative investments that will drive increased access to renewable energy across the continent. Our ultimate goal is to create a meaningful, positive impact for Africa as we work towards sustainable energy solutions. Join us on this episode as we dive deep into the urgent need for renewable energy investments in Africa. 🔗 Tune in now and be part of the movement towards a greener Africa!
