The 8th Global Off-Grid Solar Forum and Expo 2024 will be held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre in Nairobi, Kenya, from 8-10 October, co-hosted by GOGLA, the association for the off-grid solar industry, Government of Kenya and the World Bank’s Lighting Global Program.

The event is set to welcome more than 1500 attendees, 90 exhibitors, 100+ policymakers, and hundreds of investors and development actors from around the world. Known as the off-grid sector’s leading meeting place, the Forum will feature powerful discussions, showcase disruptive technologies, and create spaces to unlock new and innovative partnerships that will help drive universal electricity access, build climate resilience, and power agriculture, enterprise, health and more.

We are delighted to announce the Africa Minigrid Developers Association (AMDA), Africa E-Mobility Alliance (AfEMA), and Global Distributors Collective (GDC) will partner with GOGLA around the programme agenda for the 2024 Forum, ensuring the event encompasses a broad range of energy access technologies. It will also feature agriculture, enterprise, and climate themes and a weak-grid technology showcase.
