With their powerful agenda-shaping capabilities, Africa Energy Indaba’s steering committee and stakeholders set the programme and decide on the most pivotal topics to be ironed out and debated at the “Africa Energy Indaba week”.
“It is our key partnerships that set us apart from other energy events,” said Africa Energy Indaba managing director, Liz Hart. “With strategic partnerships with the World Energy Council, the NEPAD Planning & Coordinating Agency (NPCA) and the South African National Energy Association (SANEA), we have the highest level of endorsement of any energy event on the continent. This means our agenda and programme are set by the most powerful and strategic energy players on the continent,” said Hart.
“Through SANEA, the World Energy Council and NEPAD we have access to energy thought leaders from more than 90 countries through the Energy Issues Monitor and other studies”, says Africa Energy Indaba Chairman, Brian Statham. “Using this foundation we can ensure that the programme for Africa Energy Indaba is aligned with the priorities of energy leaders and plentiful opportunities for robust dialogue on these matters help shape the future direction for Africa’s energy sector.”
The theme for the 2016 Africa Energy Indaba is “Energy – the key driver for Africa’s economic growth” and every aspect of the 2016 programme has been designed to support the growth and development of Africa’s various energy sectors. For almost a decade, the annual Africa Energy Indaba has served as the connection point for investments into Africa’s energy sectors catering to opportunities from small renewable energy projects to billion dollar utility tenders.
The key energy issues and topics to be debated at the side events, sessions and workshops taking place at the 2016 Africa Energy Indaba are:
- Regional integration & regional policy decisions
- African energy issues in the global context
- The current growth opportunity for IPPs in Africa
- The development & exploration of Africa’s gas sector
- Nuclear as a solution to Africa’s energy crisis
- The development of women professionals in Africa’s energy sector
- World Bank IEG Report Launch
- The future of South Africa’s electricity supply sector
- The ESCO model as a solution to SA’s energy constraints
Africa Energy Indaba has focused on developing content and co-ordinating the presentation of the programme so it can be strategically navigated by each delegate, according to their specific field of interest. The more interactive panel discussions during breakaway sessions as well as enhanced networking opportunities and cocktail events are designed to support our clients and the current challenges that they face.
