ecoWise Summit 2026.
London Edition
A flagship convening bringing together senior leaders across the distributed solar and carbon market value chain — corporate buyers, financial institutions, standards bodies, policy actors, and solar developers.
This is a working session to ask the questions that define whether this market functions: what is required to move capital, unlock procurement, strengthen integrity, and build the infrastructure that allows high-integrity distributed solar mitigation infrastructure to scale.
●
The Moment
We are past the promise phase.
Now we build the infrastructure.
Over the last decade, the voluntary carbon market has built standards, methodologies, commitments, and institutional interest. The architecture exists.
What does not yet exist at scale is the market infrastructure that connects it: verified and investable supply, forward purchase agreements that unlock financing, pricing and contracting structures that treat carbon revenue as bankable, and the trust between buyers and sellers that makes a contract worth signing.
Carbon markets have shifted from offsetting emissions to financing verified emissions reductions beyond the value chain.
The question is no longer whether to participate, but how do we secure high integrity mitigation supply we can rely on and defend over time?
This is now a procurement, risk, and capital allocation decision.
And this is where the market remains constrained; not by demand or capital, but by the ability to connect supply, trust, capital, and contracts in a way that holds under scrutiny.
Distributed solar in Sub-Saharan Africa represents one of the most underallocated high integrity mitigation opportunities in the market today. It offers immediate and measurable emissions reductions, scalable project pipelines, strong development and economic co-benefits, and clear additionality in energy constrained markets. Yet, it remains underfinanced because the infrastructure required to connect the market credibly is still emerging.
●
The ecoWise Summit is designed to close the gap
Three Questions. One Room.
The Summit is structured around the three questions that determine whether this market functions:
01
Trust
DOES THE INTEGRITY INFRASTRUCTURE HOLD?
Can carbon credits from distributed solar meet the requirements of corporate buyers, auditors, and standards bodies consistently, transparently, and under increasing scrutiny?
02
Scale
WHAT DOES CARBON REVENUE ACTUALLY UNLOCK?
At what point does carbon revenue shift project economics, unlock deployment, and become meaningful at portfolio level?
03
Capital
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MOVE FROM INTEREST TO EXECUTION?
What conditions are required for institutions to secure future mitigation supply through forward procurement and multi year bankable contracting structures?
●
The Room
The Room is Wired
This convening is intentionally designed to bring together, in one place, the actors required to make the market function.
Supply
Distributed solar portfolios operating with dMRV backed verification infrastructure
Demand
Corporate buyers with procurement mandates, managing risk and disclosure framework commitments
Capital
Blended finance institutions and investors unlocking climate finance at scale for distributed solar portfolios.
Policy
Governments providing host country mandates and long-term market confidence
Trust
Standards, ratings, verification actors, and integrity infrastructure providers enabling the system to function
What has not existed until now, is the room where these five things get connected and transact
●
Programme
Agenda
A focused session for active corporate buyers, procurement teams, and market participants arriving ahead of the main programme.
A moderated fireside conversation examining how carbon procurement has changed, where buyers still hesitate, and what conditions would materially improve confidence in emerging supply categories and market structures.
Interested in attending? Select the buyers fireside option on the registration form
The programme moves through these three pillars, connecting the realities of distributed solar and carbon markets, what makes such mitigation instruments defensible, the infrastructure required to support high-integrity verified carbon credits, and a structured session designed to define the conditions required for deeper engagement, institutional participation, and future procurement discussions.
Follow-up conversations, introductions, and discussions.
