In his address to the tenth African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, UNIDO Director-General Kandeh K Yumkella said that “priority must be given to all forms of renewable energy for productive use and to ensuring a high degree of energy efficiency in industrial production.”

He also announced that UNIDO, with the African Union and Government of Senegal, will host the Conference on renewable energy in Africa in April to map out the investment opportunities and highlight critical policy issue for Africa to benefit from the ‘Green Energy Revolution.’
