Subject: Webinar: What does 100% renewable energy mean for local governments?
The International Solar Energy Society (ISES) and the Global Campaign on 100% Renewable Energy invite you to join the upcoming free webinar:
Three expert panelist speakers will present during the webinar followed by a questions and answers session with the participants.
Ana Marques from ICLEI will present examples of measures which local governments are adopting to transition their communities to 100%RE, followed by a dialogue with the solar industry to help shape the guidance provided to local governments on solar energy through an online platform called Solutions Gateway.
Gordian Raacke from Renewable Energy Long Island, will discuss what led to the Town of East Hampton's decision to become the first municipality in the State of New York to set a community-wide 100% renewable energy goal, while explaining next steps for making this bold vision a reality.
Yannick Régnier from CLER will speak about the activities carried out in France for 100% renewable energy regions. The CLER is a professional network promoting renewable energies and energy saving since 1984. CLER promotes a new energy model in which local governments play the main part.

Subject: Webinar Topics: REN21 Global Status Report – Distributed Renewable Energy
Dear Energy-L Members,
You are invited to attend the following free webinar training opportunities being offered through the Clean Energy Solutions Center and its partners. Additional information on all upcoming webinars, as well as recordings of previously held webinars, can be accessed at https://cleanenergysolutions.org/training.
---------------------------------------------------------
***REN21 Renewables 2015 Global Status Report: Distributed Renewable Energy***
10 September 2015
10:00 a.m. EDT | 4:00 p.m. CEST
This webinar will begin with an overview of REN21's newly released Renewables 2015 Global Status Report and will then look at the status of distributed energy in sub-Saharan Africa. As REN21's 2015 report shows, with a total installed capacity of roughly 147 GW, all of Africa has less power-generation capacity than Germany. Access to clean cooking continues to fall behind population, leading to negligible progress overall and a regression in some regions. This webinar will also discuss the current status of distributed renewables in the region and what can be done to increase adoption.
