GOGLA Members
GOGLA’s Policy and Regulation team is dedicated to creating an environment where the off-grid industry can expand electricity access and drive economic growth. Through advocacy on national, regional, and international levels, GOGLA promotes best practices, supports policy development, and champions the role of off-grid solutions in achieving global goals.
Alongside other critical interventions, end user subsidies for off-grid solar solutions will play a key role in ensuring that no one is left behind in the bid to achieve universal electrification
GOGLA has worked to identify, convene and build the capacity of NREAs so that they can be even better partners for our sector.
GOGLA actively facilitates exchanges on best practice policies and regulations to scale up the off-grid solar industry. We develop knowledge and produce resources to inform dialogue with governments and policymakers.
GOGLA country briefs have been developed for 20 African nations. These provide insights on off-grid solar markets, including details on sales and impact, policies and programs, investments, quality assurance regulations, e-waste initiatives and key stakeholders.
The GOGLA policy repository is a database for national legislation, policy, and regulation relevant to the off-grid solar energy industry in five East African countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.
Monitor off grid solar taxes and duty rates with one tool
Governments around the world are increasingly using varied tax measures to accelerate efforts to reach universal access and ensure no one is left behind. While these efforts are appreciated, applicable tax and duty rates across different market are not always transparent to private sector actors and other stakeholders.
To address this challenge, GOGLA has developed a Taxes & Duty Tracker that can help off grid solar companies discover, research, and monitor currently applicable taxes & duty on 30+ off-grid solar products and appliances from 24 countries. Details regarding relevant Harmonized System (HS) codes, incentives and exemptions are also included.
With a clear insight into applicable VAT and import tariff, the taxes and duty tracker can help off-grid solar companies adequately plan and make key business decisions.
The Global Policy working group brings together key GOGLA members representatives to work towards a clear and consistent global policy and regulatory environment that supports the growth of the off grid solar sector. This is achieved through capturing member opinions and input on GOGLA’s global advocacy strategies and activities, including the development of advocacy-related research and Community of Champions.
The GOGLA newsletter is for everyone who wants to keep abreast of the latest developments in the off-grid solar and electrification sector.
