SUMMARY:From Ambition to Scale: Unlocking Bankable Solar Markets in West Africa
TZID:Europe/Berlin
LAST-MODIFIED:20260521T130618Z
DESCRIPTION:West Africa represents one of the most promising yet structurally complex solar markets globally: electricity demand is rising rapidly\, solar resources are abundant\, and national targets are ambitious\, yet deployment continues to fall short of potential due to persistent financial\, regulatory\, and institutional barriers. This session will move beyond high-level access narratives to focus on the practical challenges that are shaping today's solar market in West Africa\, including off-taker risk\, tariff viability\, foreign exchange exposure\, uneven policy implementation across national and sub-national levels\, and the realities of developing local supply chains. Anchored by a national solar industry association from the region\, the session will combine a data-driven introduction with a candid panel discussion among policymakers\, developers\, investors\, and corporate energy users\, highlighting where progress is being made\, what reforms are still needed\, and how public and private actors can work together to unlock the next wave of bankable solar projects across utility-scale\, C&I\, and decentralized segments.
