Energy Access Has Declined for the First Time in Ten Years
How Integrated Energy Accelerates Global Access
This session will spotlight the Utilities 2.0 initiative—a pioneering model that combines the reach of centralized utilities with the agility of decentralized renewable energy. The result? Faster, more affordable, and scalable electricity access across Africa.

Women working to create a more inclusive renewable energy space in East Africa
The renewable energy sector, a growing and innovative industry, is improving career opportunities for women and youth. Reliable and clean power also empowers female entrepreneurs to start businesses, further promoting diversity within communities. On International Women’s Day we want to take a moment to celebrate some of these successes, focusing on East Africa and what these amazing women have achieved. The energy transition is more than a technological shift; it's a chance to enhance social and economic inclusivity. This year’s theme, Accelerate Action, stresses the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality.
Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) can revolutionize Africa's agricultural sector, creating a sustainable, low-emission food system. This transformation can combat climate change, enhance food security, and reduce income inequality.
The journey towards a diverse workforce in the renewable energy sector is filled with obstacles. However, thanks to the tireless work of organizations such as the Ethiopian Women in Energy Association (EWiEn) and SHEnergy, leaders like Lewam, and their collaborative partners, the vision of a sustainable and equitable future is increasingly within reach.
