The San African’s Post

Honored to see Renewvia's work in Africa highlighted by Leruo Monang in @San African! As we strive to bring clean, reliable energy to communities across the continent, it's gratifying to see the impact we're making: - Expanding access: Our mini-grids now serve thousands across Kenya and Nigeria, including refugee settlements and remote villages. - Driving development: Studies show our projects have quadrupled household incomes and increased female employment by 17% in served communities. - Innovating solutions: From solar-wind hybrids to lithium-ion storage, we're tailoring technology to local needs. - Building local capacity: Our Afro-centric approach to recruitment creates opportunities for local talent. - Scaling impact: We've recently raised $15M to expand our 2 GW project pipeline. The transition to clean energy in Africa presents unique challenges, but also immense opportunities to transform lives. We're just getting started.   #solarprogress #sdg7 #renewableenergy #renewableinvestment #cleanenergy #solarenergy

This incredible potential presents a unique opportunity for sustainable growth across the continent. By investing in renewable energy infrastructure, we can drive economic development, create jobs, and promote environmental stewardship. Harnessing Africa’s solar power not only addresses energy needs but also paves the way for a greener, more resilient future. Let’s collaborate and innovate to unlock this vast potential and build a brighter, sustainable future for all. Together, we can make a significant impact! 🌊 #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Africa #SolarPower #CleanEnergy #GreenGrowth #EnergyTransition #SustainableDevelopment #Innovation #ClimateAction

In the complex tapestry of renewable energy adoption, the pivotal role of government policies cannot be understated. Delving into the nuances of electricity pricing, incentives, and regulatory frameworks, it's clear that these policy instruments are crucial in sculpting a future where sustainable energy solutions are foundational. The strategic interplay between economic incentives, social acceptance, and environmental stewardship through policy interventions shapes an investment landscape conducive to the growth of renewable energies. 🌱 Each governmental decision intricately contributes to the broader narrative of our energy transition, driving both the market and societal shifts towards sustainable practices.🌍 Read our article on how Hohm Energy is revolutionising solar adoption in South Africa. 📃https://lnkd.in/dU8gZn3b #Sustainability #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech

How does the 𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗙𝗧 towards 𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗡 𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗚𝗜𝗘𝗦 impact your 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗬’𝘀 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗚𝗬? The global transition to clean energy is accelerating, with remarkable progress in renewable energy adoption. Even though energy from fossil sources is still growing and can't be completely replaced immediately, we can't deny the significant advances in renewable energy sources globally. What's particularly striking is that seven countries now produce almost 100% of their energy from renewable sources. While one might argue that these countries are relatively small, and some didn't have extensive legacy energy infrastructure to replace, committing to this path and successfully implementing it is a formidable accomplishment. This shift is driven by several factors, including: - Changes in consumer behavior - Government policies favoring renewable sources - Decreasing costs making renewable energy more affordable and appealing Here are some facts about the countries that generate 100% of their energy from renewable sources: 👉 Seven countries now generate over 99.7% of their electricity from renewable sources 👉 These countries are: Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo 👉 They use a mix of geothermal, hydro, solar, and wind power 👉 An additional 40 countries generate at least 50% of their electricity from renewable sources 👉 11 European countries are among those generating over 50% renewable electricity 👉 The UK generated 41.5% of its electricity from renewable sources in 2022 👉 Scotland produced the equivalent of 113% of its overall electricity consumption from renewables in 2022 As younger generations increasingly favor environmentally responsible companies and technology accelerates to produce cheaper ways to generate renewable energy, businesses must adapt their strategy. - How often does your C-suite discuss ways to address these shifts in energy production and consumption? - Are you prepared to meet the expectations of environmentally conscious consumers and stakeholders? - What potential risks or opportunities does the clean energy transition present for your industry? By proactively addressing these questions, your company can position itself to thrive in an increasingly clean energy-focused world.

🌍💡 Empowering Africa with Green Digital Skills! 🌱 Exciting strides in Kenya towards harnessing carbon markets for renewable energy! However, challenges persist. Key hurdles include: 1️⃣ Limited Access: Many lack access to green digital skills needed for effective participation in carbon markets. 2️⃣ Infrastructure Gaps: Insufficient digital infrastructure impedes widespread adoption of renewable energy solutions. 3️⃣ Policy Alignment: Ensuring policies align with the evolving landscape of carbon markets is crucial for sustainable impact. Let's tackle these challenges head-on, empowering Kenya and Africa to lead in the renewable energy revolution! 🚀 #GreenDigitalSkills #RenewableEnergy #SustainableAfrica Power for All #GreenSkillsFuture

As we celebrate World Environment Day, I have got something to share 😅. Our #ESG Team at Olaniwun Ajayi recently put together an article that tracks the renewable energy initiatives undertaken in Nigeria over the years. As you are aware, the uptake of renewable energy contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions and ultimately protects the environment. The analysis in this paper covers the legislative/ policy initiatives, project based initiatives, the challenges with implementation as well as relevant recommendations to address the highlighted challenges.
