The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and RES4Africa Foundation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to support sustainable development for resilient economies and energy systems in Africa.

The two will increase cooperation on renewable energy and climate change in the continent.

They will conduct training programmes (courses, seminars, summer schools), publish thematic publications (technical studies, analyses, reports) and outreach activities (conferences, events, workshops).
The two have recently together on GWEC’s new Africa Wind Energy Handbook which presents policymakers with a step by step guide to building dynamic and sustainable wind energy industries. The handbook is available here.

GWEC acts as a bridge between the wind industry, policymakers and other stakeholders in emerging markets in order to build new thriving wind markets and reach the world’s decarbonisation goals.

Energy sustainability is a hot topic set for discussion at African Utility Week and POWERGEN Africa conference. Click here to register to attend or for more information about the event.

RES4Africa supports the deployment of renewable energy solutions in Africa, both large-scale and decentralised, to satisfy local energy needs so that growth can take place in a sustainable way.
