Description: Africa has the lowest access to electricity in the world. Yet, it has some of the fastest-growing economies, the youngest and growing customer base, the highest migration from rural to urban centers, the fastest-growing middle-class with increasing demand for electronic devices and appliances, precipitating a significant need for more electricity supply.  In Sub-Saharan Africa,  electricity access stands at 26%, with the rural access rate at only 8%, and 85% of the population relying on biomass for energy.  The high reliance on biomass for energy causes deforestation and an adverse impacton 

Even more significant, the electricity for power generation is staggering. For example, solar and wind can generate over 10 Terra Watts and 15 Giga Watts, respectively, not to mention Geothermal and hydroelectric power.  A significant contributor to Africa's untapped energy resources is the gap between global investors and energy project developers. Investors worldwide face substantial difficulties accessing credible energy projects in Africa. In contrast, the energy project developers in Africa do not know how to connect with these investors, causing a massive gap in the investment flow.

This year's conference under the theme "Unlocking Africa's Energy Investments' Potential" seeks to bridge this gap by focusing on how sponsors/project developers can develop fundable projects and attract investors to the African energy sectors.

Description: To achieve the goal of “carbon neutrality” and push the green agenda for governments and industries, Energy Storage is an important foundation and key technology for building a new energy system with renewables as the main resource. According to BloombergNEF, energy storage projects that provide transmission and distribution services will amount to a $277 billion market between 2020 and 2050.

Renewables + Storage: it is expected that the Battery-Energy Storage Technologies (BEST) will further spur the market for renewable energy as grid-connected energy storage will be deployed. In Senegal, the region’s first and large utility-scale application of battery storage is slated to be integrated to a wind farm to deploy around 60 MW hours of battery storage capacity. In the same region, the World Bank Group has provided $465 Million to expand energy access and renewable energy integration in West Africa, including battery-energy storage technologies.

Description: The devastation of COVID-19, the identification of new variants and the lack of vaccines have dampened the positive outlook we have all had for the Africa continent. These factors, coupled with unrest in countries such as South Africa and eSwatini, and with more than seven national presidential elections across the continent that seldom run peacefully, do not bode well for economic recovery. In fact, Africa is the only global continent where political violence increased in 2020, in comparison to 2019. Statistics support the impression that conflict on the continent is getting worse, not better.
