EnergyNet has announced MASEN as official Forum Sponsor of the Africa Renewable Energy Forum, ARF, which holds in Morocco in November, this year.

The event which is taking place from November 2-4 in Marrakech, will afford the Africa Renewable Energy Forum to provide a unique platform for networking and knowledge sharing.

MASEN has recently become responsible for the development of all renewable energy in Morocco, implementing its programmes following three visions: local development, industrial integration and international North-South-South cooperation with countries such as Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mali, Chad, Benin, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania and Nigeria. Masen’s participation at the ARF will provide investors with insights into new energy strategies and the role Morocco will play in developing renewable energy access not only in Morocco, but across the region.

Besides, the Africa Renewable Energy Forum will provide a unique platform for networking and knowledge sharing which contributes to the Burkina Faso government’s ambition of realising its solar energy potential, as well as to MASEN’S energy development goal of building partnerships with West-African neighbours.

The Africa Renewable Energy Forum is a pan-African platform for discussions with decision-makers, experts and investors on opportunities for the development and deployment of renewable energy solutions across the continent. High-level engagement from both private and public sector has been confirmed to date:
