RMI also connected with two women @studentenergy leading the transformation of the energy sector, and taking thousands along. 🙌 At last year's #YES23 and @SEforALLorg Forum, they connected with Raul on early career development and investing in Africa. ⤵️ bit.ly/3qKV4oH

Did you know implementing @NigeriaETP could create up to 340,000 jobs by 2030, while closing the power gap? ⚡ In addition to financial capital, the people doing the work are going to need skills to leverage minigrids, innovative business models and approaches. 🧵
