#betd24

Deep Dive session @BETD.24 on "Decentralized Renewable Energy for Industrial and Commercial Zones" moderated by Hajar Yagkoubi.
Captive power plants are installed by industrial or commercial organisations on their sites. They are deemed “captive” because the electricity generated is not fed into the grid but is rather for the company’s own (and sometimes for neighboring communities’) use . During this session we only refer to clean captive installations powered by renewable energies.
In the face of high-energy costs and, in some countries, frequent power shortages and lack of efficient transmission infrastructure, captive use of renewable energies can help mitigate these challenges the industry and commerce are encountering.
Speakers:
(1) Dr Gloria Magombo, Secretary for Energy and Power Development #zimbabwe
(2) Thomas Duveau, Chief Strategy Officer, A2Ei (Access to Energy Institute)

In the past years the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue (BETD) has become a leading international forum for key stakeholders of the energy sector. High-level policymakers, industry, science and civil society are given the opportunity to share their experiences and ideas on a safe, affordable and environmentally responsible global energy transition. In 2023, over 2,000 on-site and 17,000 virtual participants and viewers from more than 130 countries, more than 40 international delegations with ministers and secretaries of state, and over 100 high-level speakers gathered virtually and on-site in the German capital to participate. The Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue is hosted and supported by the German Federal Government and a joint initiative of German Renewable Energy Federation (BEE), German Solar Association (BSW-Solar), German Energy Agency (dena) and eclareon.
