EEP Africa is pleased to announce our Rising Energy Leaders for 2020!
The Rising Energy Leader award was created to shine a spotlight on young professionals who are leading the clean energy transition in Africa. Nominees were asked to demonstrate a strong commitment to advancing clean energy solutions, demonstrated professional growth or achievement in the sector, and ambitious goals for the future.
This year’s award recipients participated in a roundtable discussion of trends and opportunities in the sector during the EEP Africa Knowledge Week on 19 November. Listen to that webinar recording here and click the links below to read individual profiles about each awardee.
