Micro Energy International's Noara Kabir Leads Session on Digitalization to Accelerate Off-Grid Renewable Energy Projects Across 70 Countries

Noara Kebir, the managing director of MicroEnergy International, introduces a session on "Digitalization to Speed Up Off-Grid Projects." Her organization has been working for 22 years across over 70 countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia towards energy transformation from the ground up. The session focuses on how digitalization can accelerate decentralized renewable energy (DRE) projects. Kebir appreciates that while DRE systems operate independently to create value and drive change locally, digital tools offer a way to integrate these disparate systems into a more centralized framework. This integration facilitates better information exchange, experience sharing, control mechanisms, and other collaborative efforts among various distributed energy setups. During this session, there will be five presentations by different speakers who have already collaborated closely on related topics. Together they aim to explore how digitization can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of off-grid renewable energy solutions.
