30 September - 1 October 2016 Nairobi, Kenya
Third International Off-Grid Renewable Energy Conference (IOREC 2016)

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is organizing the third edition of the International Off-Grid Renewable Energy Conference & Exhibition (IOREC) to advance the global 2030 sustainable energy access agenda. IOREC supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 (Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all) by focusing on how off-grid clean energy technologies can expand access in rural, peri-urban and island contexts. Policy makers, the private sector, financiers and development institutions gathered at IOREC 2016 will share experiences and best practices in financing, business models and technological applications in the context of four overarching themes: stand-alone systems for rapid expansion of electricity access; technology innovation to unlock new opportunities; mini-grid development to meet growing demand; and socioeconomic benefits of off-grid renewable energy system deployment. The Kenyan Ministry of Energy and Petroleum and the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) are partnering with IRENA in the organization of IOREC 2016.
