Live on Xidig Hub
A roundtable discussion with engineers from the Puntland Ministry of Energy and diaspora solar investors. We will explore the deployment of decentralized solar grids and the legal frameworks for independent power producers in the region.
The energy sector in Somalia is undergoing a radical transformation. With one of the highest solar irradiance levels in the world, the country is uniquely positioned to leapfrog traditional fossil-fuel infrastructure in favor of decentralized green grids.
### What to expect:
- **Technical Briefing**: Review of recent seismic data and solar mapping from the Ministry of Energy.
- **Investor Panel**: Strategies for diaspora capital pooling for energy projects.
- **Regulatory Outlook**: Analysis of the new Energy Act and what it means for private operators.
Join us for an evening of high-level strategy and technical insight. This event is open to Xidig Business Network members and invited technical specialists.
