The SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SACREEE), in collaboration with the Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO) and the China Mission to the African Union, will convene the Zero-Carbon Industrial Parks Thematic Capacity Building Events from 03–04 June 2026 via Zoom.

Held under the theme “Planning, Construction, and Operation of Zero-Carbon Industrial Parks,” the programme will bring together government ministries, regional institutions, utilities, regulators, industry experts, and development partners to strengthen knowledge and practical capacity around low-carbon industrial development.

As Africa accelerates its energy transition agenda, zero-carbon industrial parks are emerging as critical platforms for sustainable industrialisation, innovation, energy efficiency, and green economic growth. The programme will provide participants with insights into:
✔️ Zero-carbon industrial park policies and development pathways
✔️ Smart microgrids and virtual power plant (VPP) models
✔️ Digital and AI-enabled energy optimisation solutions
✔️ International best practices from China, Germany, Europe, and Singapore
✔️ Financing, operational strategies, and renewable energy integration

The initiative also seeks to promote international knowledge exchange, strengthen institutional capacity, and support practical collaboration toward achieving climate and sustainable development goals across the region.
