Africa’s burgeoning population necessitates a substantial increase in expenditure within the continent’s energy sector to meet the rising demand for energy. To attract the required investment levels, prompt action is required from both governments and businesses across the continent.
Despite the expanding energy market, 600 million Africans still lack access to electricity. Furthermore, despite Africa’s abundant resources, the continent receives a mere 3% of global energy spending. According to a report by the International Energy Agency, fulfilling Africa’s energy needs will necessitate doubling the sector's investment to over $240 million by 2030, with three-quarters of this sum dedicated to clean energy.
In collaboration with Baker McKenzie, join us in London on 19 September as our experts discuss strategies to overcome the challenges facing the continent’s energy sector, focusing on policy regulation, navigating the risk landscape, and methods to attract increased investment in the clean energy sector.
