The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), in collaboration with IEA Solar Heating & Cooling (SHC) and the Centre for Renewable Energy and Industrial Maintenance of Cabo Verde (CERMI), is organizing a advanced training course for solar thermal energy professionals, with a particular focus on large-scale solar water heating and solar cooling. The training will take place on October 10 and 11, 2023 in Praia, Cabo Verde. It aims to equip participants with knowledge and skills specific to solar water heating and solar cooling, as well as to identify projects for implementation in Cabo Verde and the West African region.

Solar thermal energy is a cornerstone of sustainable energy solutions, offering a clean and efficient alternative to conventional fossil fuels. As the world moves towards greener energy sources, mastering solar thermal technology is crucial for professionals and enthusiasts alike. This training program will be a valuable opportunity to gain expertise in this rapidly evolving field.

Interested candidates should contact Mr. Julien BULGO by e-mail, jbulgo@ecreee.org. Participants in this training program will also take part in the ECOWAS Sustainable Energy Forum (ESEF 2023).
