Submission Deadline – 30 April 2025.
Energy serves as the fundamental catalyst for growth across various sectors, encompassing businesses, medicine and education to agriculture, infrastructure, communications, and technology. For many decades, fossil fuels such as coal, oil or gas have been major sources of electricity production. However, fossil fuels have many limitations. They are rapidly depleting and non-renewable sources of energy. Moreover, their combustion produces large amounts of greenhouse gases, thereby exacerbating climate change and impacting our health, environment and economy. With an increase in the global energy demand, it is essential for countries to switch to clean and affordable energy sources to power their economies.
Achieving universal access to affordable electricity by 2030 hinges on strategic investments in clean energy sources, such as solar, wind and thermal. Expanding infrastructure and upgrading technology to provide clean energy is a pivotal objective across all developing countries, which can foster economic growth and preserve the environment.
