Description: Solar and wind are now the cheapest sources of new electricity in most of the world. As their share of generation grows, the decisive question is no longer the cost of producing clean electricity, but the cost of delivering it when it is needed - including around the clock.
IRENA's new report, 24/7 Renewables: The Economics of Firm Solar and Wind, examines what it costs to turn variable solar and wind output into a continuous, dependable supply. It introduces the firm levelised cost of electricity (firm LCOE): a transparent, project-level benchmark that adds the cost of battery storage, generation overbuild and complementary renewables to the conventional LCOE. Applying this metric across leading markets, the analysis finds that co-located solar, wind and battery systems at high-quality sites can already deliver round-the-clock electricity at USD 54-82 per MWh - at or below the cost of new coal- and gas-fired generation - with costs projected to fall by a further 30% by 2030.
The report also explains what drives these costs: resource quality and the depth of prolonged low-generation periods, technology and financing costs, system configuration, and the level of reliability targeted. It shows why combining solar and wind is usually cheaper than firming either technology alone, and why costs rise sharply beyond roughly 90% reliability. Beyond cost, it considers the speed of deployment, resilience and hedging value of hybrid renewable systems - and the market and policy reforms needed for these economics to translate into projects on the ground.
This webinar will present the report's key findings and discuss what they mean for utilities, investors, industrial buyers and policy makers.

Description: From the initial stages of identifying land and available grid capacity, PV projects often move quickly into detailed system design. This can narrow the options very early in the process, and lead to missed opportunities for optimization. In this pv magazine Webinar, we examine common approaches to project design and introduce a strategy that can ensure more options are properly explored before committing.
From the very beginning of a PV project, engineers are faced with a wealth of decisions. Making the best use of available land and grid capacity will influence target DC size, racking, pitch and ground coverage ratio, inverter loading, storage scenarios, these are just a few.
And all of these early decisions interact with each other, greatly affecting the outcome. In this webinar, we’ll look at why early-stage PV and hybrid PV design is better understood as a search-space problem, and what can be missed when teams move too quickly from first assumptions into detailed design.
We examine how common project design workflows can narrow the range of options too early, and introduce a more exploratory approach: one that helps teams test more project directions, understand trade-offs sooner, and identify a stronger range before committing engineering effort to detailed design.

Organizer: IRENA
Description: The first webinar in the “Renewable Solutions for Vulnerable Communities” series, organised by the IRENA Coalition for Action will explore how decentralised renewables can expand reliable energy access in fragile and conflict affected areas. With nearly one billion people living in these contexts and facing disproportionate energy access challenges, the webinar will explore how innovative financing mechanisms and decentralised, locally available renewable solutions can help overcome financing challenges, maintain essential services and strengthen resilience.

Organizer: Mining Review Africa
Description: The mining industry continues to evolve as new technologies reshape the way operations are managed, with health and safety remaining a top priority.
Join Mining Review Africa for a webinar which will explore how innovative digital solutions are transforming mine safety by enhancing hazard identification, improving real-time monitoring, and enabling faster, data-driven decision-making.
Industry experts will discuss the role of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), wearable devices, drones, automation, predictive analytics, and remote monitoring systems in creating safer working environments.
This webinar will also examine how these technologies help organisations reduce workplace incidents, improve regulatory compliance, strengthen emergency response capabilities, and foster a proactive safety culture.

Organizer: ATA Insights
Description: Developing a biomethane plant requires balancing technical, commercial, and regulatory considerations. Developers must evaluate infrastructure constraints, identify suitable business models, estimate CAPEX and OPEX, engage with key stakeholders, and anticipate potential project risks before reaching a final investment decision. Addressing these aspects early can significantly reduce delays, improve bankability, and increase the likelihood of successful project delivery.
Date & Time: 29 September 2026 at 1 pm SAST
Organizer: ESI Africa
Description: This webinar will examine how C&I energy users can align their renewable energy procurement strategies with carbon accounting standards and evolving reporting obligations. It will explore how renewable electricity purchases should be verified, how Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and other environmental attributes support credible Scope 2 reporting, and how organisations can minimise greenwashing risk while strengthening ESG performance.
The discussion will provide practical guidance for translating decarbonisation commitments into defensible compliance strategies that satisfy investors, regulators, customers and international buyers.

Organizer: ESI Africa
Description: Water security is no longer simply an environmental issue, it has become a strategic business risk. Across South Africa, commercial and industrial organisations are facing increasing pressure from ageing municipal infrastructure, climate variability, rising operating costs and growing sustainability expectations.
For businesses that rely on a secure water supply, resilience has become essential to maintaining operations, protecting assets and supporting future growth. Leading organisations are responding by reducing dependence on municipal supply, improving water efficiency, investing in reuse and recycling, and adopting smarter approaches to water management.
Join Water Security Africa for an executive discussion with industry leaders who are actively transforming the way their organisations manage water.

Description: Global solar supply chains are being reshaped by trade barriers, industrial policy, regional manufacturing strategies, and volatility in key raw materials. This pv magazine Webinar+ will provide a detailed market analysis of how geopolitical developments are creating regional pricing disparities across the photovoltaic value chain, from polysilicon to modules and critical materials such as soda ash, EVA, and POE.

Organizer: Enlit Africa
Description: This webinar explores practical approaches to structuring bankable transmission investments through two complementary case studies. The discussion will examine the Mozambique Temane Transmission Project as an example of an innovative financing model in an emerging market and compare it with insights from Belgium's Elia, highlighting a European utility perspective. The session will explore the regulatory frameworks, financing strategies and operational excellence required for successful project delivery, while identifying lessons that can be adapted across African markets.
