NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

The HEC aims to advance the humanitarian energy agenda by bringing together different stakeholders to foster collective action, catalyse political commitments, forge partnerships, and mobilise resources. As a sector-wide event for the humanitarian energy community, the HEC provides a platform for critical and informative discussions, assessing the progress towards achieving SDG 7 for displaced populations and host communities.

The agenda for HEC 2024 will feature a diverse range of sessions covering technical topics such as decarbonisation, clean cooking, sustainable operations and maintenance, energy in emergencies, and urban displacement. There will also be cross-cutting sessions on public-private partnerships, community-led energy initiatives and inclusion, innovative finance, and climate adaptation.

HEC 2024 will take place on the day before the Global Off-Grid Solar Forum and Expo 2024, which will be held at the KICC, Nairobi, Kenya from 8-10 October 2024.

We hope you will be able to join us, please stay tuned for more updates!
