Within the context of the global energy transformation, the debate on the expansion of decentralised energy is gaining momentum. Tomorrow’s energy should be reliable, sustainable, affordable, and accessible – universally. Yet, the global community still has long way to go to achieve this goal.

At the fourth Brandenburg Dialogue “Learning with Africa”, we will discuss opportunities and obstacles to the expansion of a decentralised energy supply. Is decentralisation the solution to our problems regarding climate change and energy security? What is needed to increase acceptance and demand for decentralised solutions? What can community energy projects in Africa and Germany learn from each other? And what role can a decentralised energy supply play compared to centralised solutions?

The Brandenburg Dialogue takes place in the context of the annual Potsdam Africa Dialogues. On October 24th and 25th, the Africa Dialogues will deal with the topic "Sunny Side Up? The energy crises as an opportunity for a just transition in Africa". More information can be found here.
