Description: This webinar unpacks that trade-off. It examines the true, often-hidden water footprint of African data centres, onsite and offsite, the innovations (closed-loop, dry cooling, hybrid and liquid systems) being deployed to manage it, and the growing use of non-potable and recycled water in high-performance facilities.

It closes on the commercial stakes: how water intensity is increasingly scrutinised by financiers and ESG frameworks, and what it takes to design for water-stressed environments without compromising uptime.

Description: In this webinar by PVcase, we will examine the financial impacts of hidden network upgrade costs and outline why a “grid-first” site selection strategy is now essential to protect project viability. Led by AJ Dhillon, a former utility transmission engineer now with PVcase, the session will break down how to understand grid upgrades, how they differ across generators versus large loads, and how project developers can actually maximize their ROI by strategically evaluating upgrade costs.

Description: Chad’s energy transition has become a strategic lever to address energy poverty, strengthen energy security and support economic diversification in one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries. Chad faces very low electricity access, heavy reliance on traditional biomass and petroleum products, high electricity costs, and an unreliable supply. In the short to medium-term, scaling up abundant solar and wind resources, alongside decentralised renewable solutions, offers a viable pathway to expand access, power productive uses, and reduce fossil-fuel dependence.

Description: Following ARE’s recent rebranding to the Alliance for Renewable Electrification, Commercial & Industrial (C&I) electrification has become a key pillar of the organisation’s expanded mandate. As businesses and industries seek cleaner, more reliable, and cost-effective energy solutions, C&I electrification is emerging as a key driver of sustainable economic growth in emerging and developing markets.

The upcoming Innovation for Electrification (I4E) webinar will explore how decentralised renewable energy (DRE) solutions are helping C&I users replace fossil fuel-based energy with clean electricity to power operations, improve resilience, and reduce costs and emissions.

Join us as we dive into practical applications, business models, and technologies enabling reliable, affordable, low-emission energy access across sectors including digital infrastructure, industrial production and processing, urban commerce, agri-processing, transport, logistics, and other energy-intensive industries.

The webinar will feature expert insights from ARE Members, followed by a live Q&A with participants.

Description: Clean cooking is receiving growing attention globally, with financing and investment recognised as pivotal to reversing the slow progress and achieving SDG 7. However, investment data on the sector remain scarce, and existing datasets often lack the project-level detail that governments and investors need for informed decisions. As a result, capital is sometimes directed toward enterprises unable or unwilling to absorb it, or delivered using instruments that do not match companies’ needs, hindering effective disbursement of already limited funds. Without targeted efforts to generate and share robust data, initiatives directed towards garnering support and investments towards clean cooking are likely to face reduced success.
