WHAT KEEPS AFRICA’S ENERGY LEADERS

AWAKE AT NIGHT?

In preparation for the 10th edition of the Africa Energy Indaba, the Indaba Steering Committee, the World Energy Council, SANEA

and the NEPAD Agency, have collaborated to develop the conference programme to discuss the strategic issues which keep

Africa’s energy leaders awake at night.

The conference programme will discuss and engage on the following:

  markets, local development projects, skills/capacity.

  prices, electricity prices, talent and energy poverty

  and the deal  ow linked to the gas economy

  Challenges and opportunities


• Global trends driving innovation and the evolution of the
  energy sector towards a sustainable energy future: e.g.
  population growth and rising consumption, urbanisation,
  transportation, energy storage, market dynamics, trade,
  climate change and CO2 reduction, technology changes,
  policies and regulations


• The business opportunity linked to  renewable energy and
  energy e ciency


• Power systems development:  National and regional power
  systems and the new roles of electricity utilities and
