Taking advantage of Côte d’Ivoire’s favorable regulatory framework and German know-how to make your company more competitive

The German Training Week –Project Development helps to expand your understanding of solar PV technology and gets you started on the development of auto-producer installations in Senegal’s commercial and industrial sector. It comes at a time when electricity prices for industrial customers have increased by more than 25%, when supply interruptions are becoming more frequent and when the government is advancing towards a system of Net-metering where surplus production of solar power can be injected into the grid and further reduce your electricity bill.

The training is a unique opportunity to engage with German companies who are sharing their hands-on experience of how to successfully develop solar PV projects. In addition to technical and financial topics, the workshop will also cover important commercial and legal aspects of project development. It enables you to take your project ideas a step closer towards realization, enhance your network with relevant local actors and create partnerships with competent German companies.
