Past Events

Given the commitment from ECOWAS Member States in their willingness to work towards achievement of the SE4ALL targets in West Africa, the Energy Ministers in October 2012, have mandated ECREEE to coordinate the implementation of the SE4All initiative in the region. This is as a result of ECREEE’s achievement in the region.

For three years the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency has been running the ECOWAS Solar Thermal Energy Program (SolTrain West Africa). With this specific program, ECREEE aims at creating more and more channels for a wider penetration of the solar thermal technology, including water heating, thermal drying of agricultural products and other productive uses, towards sustainable energy.

On 13 April 2018, the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) will be organizing a regional workshop to present the findings from the Pre- feasibility Study on Business Opportunities for Women in a Changing Energy Value Chain in West Africa. The workshop will take place at the African Development Bank Group (AfDB) headquarters in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.
