The city of Praia, Cabo Verde, will on October 12 and 13 host the 8th edition of the ECOWAS Sustainable Energy Forum (ESEF) 2023 being organised by the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE).
ECREEE announced this in a press release on Friday, 1 September, saying the event will be held under the auspices of the Office of the Prime Minister of Cabo Verde.
ESEF has in the past years established itself as the premier energy event in West Africa, attracting a wide range of stakeholders from around the world.
This year, the theme of the event will focus on promoting sustainable energy in the region. The event will bring together key stakeholders, including policymakers, industry leaders, and world-renowned experts to deliberate on pressing energy challenges and opportunities in the region. By fostering collaboration among these stakeholders, the Forum aims to ensure comprehensive and well-rounded discussions that lead to actionable outcomes, ECREEE said.
The objectives of the Forum include among others, fostering concrete progress in the attainment of the region’s sustainable energy targets; showcasing and facilitating investment opportunities in the region’s sustainable energy sector; and providing a platform for networking and improving the policy and regulatory landscape for private sector investment through engagement between ECOWAS policy makers, regional and international private sector players, and financial institutions.
ESEF is a pivotal event aimed at advancing sustainable energy solutions and catalyzing socio-economic development across the West African region. The Forum is organized in parallel with the West Africa Energy Transition Week, featuring the 4th edition of the International Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fair of Cabo Verde (FIEREE), taking place October 12-14, 2023, organized by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Energy of Cabo Verde (MICE).
