Key Duties and Responsibilities ⇒
⇗ Renewable energy, including generation from the full suite of subsectors
wind, solar, waste, biofuel, geothermal etc and clean storage, is one of six
sector priorities in 2020/21 for the Department for International Trade in
Africa. The Sector will be led by a Sector Director working with a virtual
team across the continent. You will support that team in each location with
expert understanding of African renewable energy needs, practices and
regulations. You will also work closely with our Sector Director on power, oil
and gas and energy efficiency, and our specialist in the green economy non-
power generation multi-sector transition to low carbon.
⇗ You will understand African renewables needs intimately and be able to
translate those to officials less familiar with the sector. You will forge
close relationships with African regulators, developers and companies such
that you can interpret their needs and develop solutions with and for them.
You will look for all opportunities to encourage transition to renewable
technologies and will seek to help Africa find the regulatory and tariff
structures to incentivise that change. You will seek first and foremost to
progress their plans and assist in their capability, but you will have a good
knowledge of international best practice to contribute.
⇗ You will bring a commercial perspective to the sector trying to find the
areas where commercial, investment or regulatory intervention could improve
the sustainability and viability of African energy supply. This will be in
complement to other actors for the British Government, with whom you will
forge close working relationships, whose primary interests might be in e.g.
climate resilience and/or emissions reductions. You will work to understand
the contribution of our International Climate Finance, Green Finance, DFID and
other programmes, so that DIT can support these while also adding value in its
commercial and trade policy sphere.
⇗ Together with expertise in renewables delivery, you will also understand
financing models including from UK Government partners including UKEF and
DFID, advising on approach for individual schemes.
⇗ Your aim will be to help African energy decision-makers understand where a
commercial renewables application could deliver on or raise their ambition.
You will understand the contribution of all the sub-sectors of renewable power
generation and will be familiar with on-grid and off-grid solutions. You will
also advise on power storage solutions to suit national and local power
generation plans.
⇗ You will not be so concerned as colleagues with aligning African plans to
UK solutions, but it would help to understand UK capabilities, public and
private, especially in the area of research and innovation. For this you would
make connections to the UK’s innovation centres and support work that could
have mutual benefit in bringing ground-breaking techniques to Africa.
⇗ Your role will be advisory, but you would be expected to show a clear
contribution to relationship development with African developers, to trade
policy gains helping African transition to renewables, and to the upskilling
of our network as they better understand how to target solutions for African
needs.
