Renewables in Cities & Lessons learned from scaling up solar PV

This February, ISES is happy to once again welcome REN21  for one of our monthly webinars - this time introducing the first ever Renewables in Cities 2019 Global Status Report.

REN21 project manager Lea Ranalder will give an overview of the report with a special focus on solar PV and solar thermal. Municipal governments have shown leadership by installing rooftop solar PV systems on public buildings such as schools, administrative buildings, and community centers and in this way, they can be a great lead in achieving the renewable energy transformation.

Also joining the webinar will be Duncan Gibb, project manager and analyst from REN21 giving an overview of the global uptake of solar energy.

 

  • The webinar will last 1 hour and include a Q/A session for the audience in which we welcome you to send in your questions.
  • The recording of the webinar as well as the presentation given will be made available after the webinar - ISES members can access these resources long term via the ISES webinar archive.
