DESCRIPTION:In this urgent and forward-looking session of the Intersolar Europe Conference\, we bring together voices from the frontlines of decentralized energy: representatives from Syria\, Ukraine and Ethiopia - spanning immediate crisis response and longer-term energy market development - alongside practitioners who build and operate these systems at scale. What unites all perspectives is a shared insight: decentralized renewable energy proves its reliability precisely where conventional grids are absent\, destroyed or isolated - from war-torn regions to island communities cut off from mainland supply.The initial focus is on the immediate\, life-saving needs: hospitals\, schools and water supply systems. We then move to the medium-term goal - interconnecting mini-grids\, rebuilding resilient infrastructure\, creating new jobs and livelihoods. A central question runs through both phases: how do we train local workforces through vocational training\, apprenticeships and certification programs\, so that rebuilding is not only about hardware\, but about people and enduring capacity?Join us to examine how off-grid solar transitions from emergency stop-gap to the sustainable backbone of recovery and growth.
