SUMMARY:THE ROLE OF APPLIANCE REGULATION IN A GROWING ENERGY MARKET
DESCRIPTION:About the event:\n\n\n\nAfrica’s energy demand is projected to surge in the coming years\, driven by population growth and economic development. Energy efficiency offers a key solution for managing this demand while reducing emissions and ensuring equitable access to electricity.This webinar will bring together policymakers\, regulators\, industry leaders\, and experts to discuss the importance of establishing and strengthening regulatory frameworks for energy-efficient appliances in Africa.This event is co-organized by the African School of Regulation (ASR) and CLASP\, a global leader in promoting energy-efficient appliances. \n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn:\n\n\n\n\nThe critical role of appliance regulations in achieving climate goals and improving energy access.\n\n\n\nExamples of successful appliance regulation programs from other regions and their benefits.\n\n\n\nThe current state of appliance regulations in Africa and opportunities for improvement.\n\n\n\nStrategies for collaboration among stakeholders to develop effective regulatory frameworks.\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend:\n\n\n\n\nAfrican energy regulators and policymakers\n\n\n\nMinistries of energy\, environment\, and trade\n\n\n\nUtility companies\n\n\n\nPrivate sector appliance manufacturers and retailers\n\n\n\nInternational development organizations and NGOs focused on sustainable energy\n\n\n\nAcademics\, researchers\, and students interested in energy policy and regulation\n\n\n\n\nMeet the Panellists:

SUMMARY:New opportunities for electricity retailing activities in Africa
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will explore the challenges and opportunities of electricity retailing in Africa. Traditionally\, retailing has been a monopolistic activity controlled by the distribution network owner. However\, the low demand in rural areas has led to unsustainable distributor business models. \n\n\n\nTo address this issue\, experts have proposed new business models that involve distributors engaging in commercial activities beyond their core business. These activities\, such as selling appliances or participating in industrial activities\, can potentially unlock electricity demand and contribute to community development. \n\n\n\nThe African School of Regulation is organizing this webinar to explore whether distributors’ commercial activities should be encouraged or even mandated and how to avoid the risk that new business models may pose to distributors’ regulated activities. \n\n\n\nWebinar Objectives\n\n\n\nThe objectives of this webinar are to:(i) provide an overview of electricity retailing in Africa\,(ii) identify and discuss the new opportunities for electricity distributors in Africa\,(iii) discuss whether distributors should be mandated\, or incentivised\, to engage in the promotion of residential demand growth\, productive and community uses.(iv) discuss how to avoid the risk that the commercial activities pose to the regulated activities. \n\n\n\nTarget Audience\n\n\n\nThe webinar is aimed at utility professionals\, regulators\, developers\, development finance institutions\, academics\, think tanks and professionals working across sectors in various capacities\, as well as other professionals interested in the topic. \n\n\n\nPanellists\n\n\n\n\nNico Petershmidt\, INENSUS\n\n\n\n Harold Obiga\, ERA\n\n\n\nRiccardo Ridolfi\, Equatorial Power\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\nKeno Shiferaw\, African School of Regulation\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Speakers profile
