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.

Photovoltaic prices have fallen continuously in recent years - a trend that should translate into a growing market for off-grid solutions. Declining costs are crucial for rural electrification in particular, making sustainable energy supply economically viable in remote regions. However, so far many of these price advantages have not yet reached the people that need them most. Do existing framework conditions to foster rural electrification still work in this new market reality? Which measures are needed to ensure that cost reductions reach our target group? This session discusses strategies for improving the availability of low-cost off-grid solutions, financing and innovative business models. A look at successful practical examples shows which political, economic and technological levers need to be pulled to make off-grid PV accessible on a large scale.
