Dear Investor,

Welcome to the Africa Renewable Energy Forum- the first official international side meeting of COP22 – Marrakech 2016.

In partnership with Global Nexus and the Institute of Research in Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN), EnergyNet are pleased to host the Africa Renewable Energy Forum (ARF), taking place on the 2-4 November 2016 in Marrakech.

ARF has been awarded with the official endorsement of COP22 and will be ‘the’ renewable energy side meeting for AllAfrica to support on-going implementation of the Paris Agreement.

This will be the first of an annual cycle of conferences focused specifically on renewable energy for African development to benchmark and maintain the outcomes of the Conference of Parties (COP) for AllAfrica.

ARF will gather together African Energy Ministers and Government Representatives, leading investors, power developers, technology providers, financiers and multilateral agencies to deliver strategies for sustainable energy development that meet the climate change requirements.

Throughout ARF, we will provide you with a platform to promote sustainable projects, technology development, capacity building and knowledge transfer as well as usable and actionable takeaways for clean energy project implementation. Our goal is to deliver and execute a COP22 legacy programme throughout “The Path 2021 – The outcomes of the Africa Renewable Energy Forum”.

I invite you to review this brochure where you will find further information on this exciting forum.

We hope you can join us in Marrakech.

Best regards,

Valeria AruffoProgramme ManagerEnergyNet

09:20-11:20 ARF – COP22 MINISTERIAL ROUNDTABLE – REGIONAL CO-OPERATION TO OVERCOME THE TRANSMISSION BARRIER

• The transmission barrier – building transmission has held Africa’s energy sector back 50 years and much of the continent remains in darkness. If the world’s largest solar farm is built in North Africa to send energy to Europe, requiring thousands of miles of new transmission, yet a transmission line crossing one or two borders can take 30 years. How can government and the critical impact of Africa’s ability to ‘feed the world’ change the current approach to regional partnerships?

• How can utilities work better together to develop the grid to transmit energy. • Setting an agenda for regional transmission co-operation
