Sharing a few glimpses from the session on “Market Transformation for Super-Efficient Appliances” at #SACEF2024

Sharing a few glimpses from the session

The surging demand for cooling is reshaping the global energy landscape, posing challenges to our net-zero journey. At #SACEF2024, USAID launched the Low Carbon Comfort & Cooling Collective (LC4) with a bold goal: 1️⃣ Cut cooling-related emissions by 50% by 2030 2️⃣ Mobilize $1B in investments In his opening remarks, Shri Ajay Jain, Special Chief Secretary of Andhra Pradesh, highlighted that low-carbon cooling solutions are vital to achieving net-zero goals. With committed partners, LC4 is set to take decisive actions to lower cooling-related emissions, creating a more sustainable future for South Asia and the planet. Let’s #EngageSolveAct to ensure a brighter, greener future for all. #LC4 #SustainableCooling #ClimateAction #NetZero #CleanEnergy #CoolingRevolution #USAID #SAREP

#SACEF2024: For the second-last session, we sat down with @RichaMishraBL , Senior Associate Editor, @businessline, to evaluate how media can shape the clean energy narrative by inspiring change, amplifying impact and driving collaborative solutions for a sustainable future. Highlight of the session was a powerful presentation on 'The Power of Strategic Storytelling in Climate Action' by @Girisham1, Founder, @OnPurposeComms

#SACEF2024: The 5th session saw discussions around the vital transition to Round-the-Clock (#RTC) renewable energy procurement in #SouthAsia. This shift is not just necessary but presents significant opportunities for greener energy solutions. The session explored how hybrid projects and RTC systems address grid integration challenges while maintaining cost-effectiveness. By combining solar, wind and hydropower with advanced storage, RTC ensures a reliable energy supply and reduces dependence on fossil fuels. Speakers also discussed the importance of RTC for energy security, innovations in energy storage, and best procurement practices from India. #EngageSolveAct

Today, South Asia's power utilities face a tough challenge. As they adopt new #digitaltechnologies for better efficiency, they also become more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Session 4 of #SACEF2024 focused on these #cybersecurity issues, explaining how just one breach can disrupt power supply across large areas. Expert shared insights on best practices, policies, and technological solutions to strengthen the region's resilience against cyber threats and ensure a secure transition toward a sustainable energy future. #EngageSolveAct @USAID @usaid_india @SAsiaEnergyHub

Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) is a core guiding principle of USAID's mission to create a more inclusive energy sector. We engaged with women leaders from diverse countries across the industry to share their perspectives on promoting inclusion and overcoming challenges. Let’s hear their insights on how men can be strong allies for women in the South Asian energy sector. Listen to their stories and discover ways we can all help build a more equitable future. #GESI #CleanEnergy #Inclusion #GenderEqualityAndSocialInclusion #WomenInLeadership #GenderEquality #DiversityAndInclusion #SACEF2024

At another key session of #SACEF2024, our assembled panel of speakers looked at #genderbias in the energy sector, and presented ways to tackle key ecosystem barriers in terms of market access and finance for women-led businesses. SAREP and USAID India's partner Swayam Shikshan Prayog also launched the 'Empowering Women Entrepreneurs to Drive Rural Clean Energy Solutions' report that captures the transformative role of women entrepreneurs in increasing #cleanenergy access in India's rural areas. #EngageSolveAct
