Have not moderated a panel with HEAVY panelists like I did today at the @ERA_Uganda organized #aes2025 on #ShapingAfricaEnergyFuture! Only PhDs chiming in on Policy&Regulation,Innovation&Tech,Finance&Investment,Research&Data,Energy access&Just transition,Regional power trade etc
Fantastic to get the opportunity at the africa electricity symposium #aes2025 to say that the "just" in just energy transitions can't just be a added on to business as usual, but requires a vision of a just, fair and inclusive society. @ERA_Uganda

We suspect that similar contradictions are likely to be found in industries that require capital intensive infrastructure development where the dimensions of ownership, commodification and risk-allocation are present such as critical minerals, hydrogen and CCS.
@Matthuber78 However, it also doesn't help if privatized electricity grids are so unaffordable that households can't afford to connect - off-grid solar could help electrify villages before they are able to connect to the grid, but public accountability is key! https://t.co/d67VyGGF8R
