SUMMARY:Webinar - The Mount Coffee expansion and hybridization journey
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the Mount Coffee Hydropower Plant Extension in Liberia and its role in strengthening the country’s electricity system. It provides an overview of the proposed 40 MW expansion\, the engineering and economic evaluation that led to the selection of Z-type Kaplan turbines\, and the use of BIM to support integrated multidisciplinary design. The presentation also examines the hybridization of hydropower with solar PV and battery energy storage\, demonstrating how coordinated operation can improve dry-season reliability\, optimize water resources\, increase renewable-energy production and support Liberia’s growing electricity demand.

SUMMARY:2026 Malawi National Energy Conference
DESCRIPTION:Energy remains one of the biggest drivers of economic growth and social development. Yet in Malawi\, where electricity access is still estimated at around 25%\, many sectors continue to face challenges caused by unreliable and limited energy access. \nFrom hospitals and schools to farms\, tourism facilities\, mining operations\, and manufacturing industries\, energy is essential for productivity\, service delivery\, innovation\, and investment. Recognising this\, the upcoming will focus on positioning energy as a cross-cutting enabler for national development. \nHeld under the theme “Powering Growth: Mainstreaming Energy Across Sectors” the conference aims to bring together stakeholders from across government\, the private sector\, development partners\, academia\, civil society\, and industry. \n \nSince 2022\, Malawi’s National Energy Conferences have progressively shaped dialogue around sustainable development\, energy diversification\, productive use of energy\, and financing for energy security. The 2026 edition builds on this momentum by focusing on integrated energy planning across multiple sectors. \nThe conference will be structured around four key pillars: \n\nMulti-sectoral energy policy mainstreaming and regulation\nEnergy for social services\, including health and education\nCommercial and industrial-scale energy for agriculture\, tourism\, mining\, manufacturing\, and transport\nFinance\, business models\, and climate resilience

SUMMARY:Webinar - Modernizing Hydropower: rehabilitation\, modernization\, and performance improvement
DESCRIPTION:Join the ESMAP webinar series to explore how hydropower modernization can extend asset life\, reduce costs\, and strengthen power system resilience across diverse contexts. \n \nDrawing on real-world examples from global modernization projects\, the session examines the technical\, financial\, and operational choices that determine whether aging hydropower assets become liabilities or long-term contributors to clean\, flexible energy systems — from equipment upgrades through digitalization. \nParticipants will gain practical insights into four interconnected areas: optimizing existing infrastructure through turbine\, generator\, and control upgrades that increase capacity and generation; and leveraging digitalization and battery hybridization to deliver greater flexibility\, reliability\, and system-wide value.
