Rise in small scale projects "The power and energy landscape is changing throughout Africa" says iPAD Cameroon event director Elodie Delagneau, "and the significant increase of small scale projects in the power and energy sector is highlighting the progress and improvement for economic growth and response to an increasing energy demand. The traditional utility generation, transmission and distribution model, is increasingly being supported by smaller IPPs, smaller renewable projects, mini grids, smarter use of power through the new era of disruptive technologies, and is no longer the only solution to power supply." She continues: "following the enormous success of the iPAD Cameroon events, international investment interest within the entire region and the necessary regional power integration of the region, the new Future Energy Central Africa platform aims to facilitate regional power growth within the region, welcoming private developers, IPPs, and investors to facilitate the extension of regional grids, pricing and infrastructure development."
