The International Energy Agency (IEA)'s 9th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency, co-hosted by IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol and Kenya’s Minister of Energy and Petroleum Davis Chirchir, will take place in Nairobi, Kenya, from May 21-22, 2024. This event, the first on the African continent, aims to accelerate global policy action on energy efficiency, reflecting the IEA’s growing partnership with Kenya. The conference will focus on doubling energy efficiency progress by 2030, addressing climate change, energy affordability, security, and access. Over three days of workshops, roundtables, and panel discussions, participants will seek practical solutions to enhance global clean energy efforts. Stay tuned for further updates! #IEEEYoungProfessionals #IEEE #EnergyEfficiency #InternationalEnergyAgency #ClimateChange

Postdoctoral Researcher at NREL| Clean Energy Solutions Center (CESC), NICE Future, 21 CPP Initiatives at Clean Energy Ministerial| Chair of IEEE YP Climate and Sustainability Task Force
To reach the target of doubling the Energy Efficiency and tripling the Renewable Energy addition there is an immediate need to build expertise in the Energy Efficiency sector as its not been as talked about as the deployment of renewable energy technologies. In the center of this is the young practitioners. They will need to understand the needs as well as the necessary skills in a very short time period to be meaningful contributors for the deployment needed. Young practitioners in IEEE are one one of the most needed youth groups for this change to take place. Therefore, we thank International Energy Agency (IEA) for giving these young practitioners the needed space and the opportunity to be a part of this acceleration! Brian Motherway| Matthieu Prin | Sneha Satish Hegde | Sifa Kinoti We thank IEEE Young Professionals and IEEE for the support to create meaningful spaces for young practitioners in Climate and Sustainable Development.

The South African government's post-2015 National Energy Efficiency Strategy (NEEDS) has several objectives, including: - Economic growth: Promote energy efficiency as a driver for balanced, sustainable economic growth - Job creation: Boost job creation - Technological innovation: Lead technological innovation - Energy security: Improve energy security by making better use of existing and new generation capacity - Environmental sustainability: Optimize resources to safeguard environmental sustainability - Competitiveness: Improve competitiveness by supporting users to reduce their energy intensity - Inclusive economic growth: Stimulate inclusive economic growth by releasing generation capacity to all citizens - Public buildings: Accelerate the rate of improvement in energy consumption per square meter in public sector buildings As the The Southern African Energy Efficiency Confederation (SAEEC) this document affirms the centrality of Energy Efficiency to South Africa's future. It has to be seen as one of the key pillars of a Just Energy Transition. This is an objective we continuously work towards with our members, partners and government.

Africa’s energy demands are growing rapidly, but this growth does not translate into a “one-to-one” growth in energy consumption. If consumers switch to more efficient technologies in mobility, industrial production, or cooking/heating, electrification can significantly lower energy demand. This shift could, over the next three decades, help limit the increase in final energy consumption to 50 percent. Read our perspective on addressing Africa’s energy needs and the opportunities this may bring to financial institutions making an early move ➡️ https://mck.co/472SL03

In addition to the broader global context outlined in the IEA report, the need for robust policies, incentives, and frameworks in countries like Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia is paramount. These countries, with their rapidly growing economies and energy demands, play a crucial role in the transition to clean energy. Implementing clear policies that promote clean energy investment, providing incentives for renewable energy projects, and establishing supportive regulatory frameworks can help attract capital and drive the adoption of clean energy technologies in the region. Furthermore, collaboration between governments, international organizations, and the private sector is essential to address financing challenges and unlock the full potential of clean energy development in Southeast Asia. By prioritizing clean energy investment and fostering an enabling environment, countries in the region can contribute significantly to global efforts to combat climate change while also reaping the economic and environmental benefits of a sustainable energy future.

The ESI Africa magazine, seen at The SAEEC Confederation conference, has an interesting article on page 72 exploring the skills needed for a just energy transition (a topic addressed by the SAEEC speakers). One thing is clear: Young people must be brought into the mainstream economy, and the SMME sector driving energy-efficiency products and services is a good place to start.
ESI Africa is live at the 18th annual The Southern African Energy Efficiency Confederation (SAEEC) Conference at The Lakes Hotel & Conference Centre in Johannesburg today and tomorrow. Stay tuned for news from this insightful event! Register to attend, and receive your free copy of ESI Africa in your delegate bag: https://lnkd.in/d6SYJ3Qs #energy #sustainability #conference
