"Reservation for Gas IPP & PPA Conference" | Industrializing Africa through stable Energy supply and Infrastructure development

EVENT OVERVIEW

Explore Africa's booming oil and gas potential at the Africa Indaba Oil & Gas Forum

The Oil and Gas Forum, aligned as an official side event to the Africa Energy Indaba at Mulungushi Conference Centre in Lusaka, serves as a crucial platform for industry leaders to discuss and contribute to Africa’s growing energy sector. The continent’s oil and gas sector is poised for significant growth over the next two decades, fueled by population rise, urbanization, and an emerging wealthier middle class. The forum addresses country-specific opportunities and continental challenges, covering exploration, licensing, gas transition, tax changes, infrastructure, and security.

Africa, with its vast natural gas potential, is positioned to be a leading gas market and a significant player in liquefied natural gas (LNG) development. Despite substantial gas discoveries, foreign and private investment is crucial for realizing the infrastructure associated with these findings. Africa’s shale gas exploration is also on the rise, triggered by emerging technologies and government assessments. As global economies increasingly shift towards gas-based energy solutions, there’s a predicted surge in investment across natural gas supply chains. This evolution presents opportunities for value creation from flared gas and the adoption of innovative technologies for gas transportation from remote offshore fields.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), natural gas demand is expected to outpace oil and coal growth by 1.6% annually in the next five years. This trend is driven by factors like abundant supply, low prices, and its role in reducing air pollution.

Attend this event to learn more about the opportunities of the Gas Sector in Africa.

THEMES TO BE DISCUSSED

A looming gas crisis

With the gas supply from Mozambique reducing, African gas consumers are left vulnerable – how do we accelerate efforts for alternative gas supply?

The ‘beginning of the end’ for fossil fuels

With the COP28 agreement signalling the transitioning away from fossil fuel, is there still a role for gas in the African Energy Transition?

A multiuse gas economy

How does Africa secure gas demand across the electricity, fuel, industrial, and transport sectors to drive regional infrastructure development?

A collaborative effort

What is the role of private and public sector in enabling the African gas economy?

Regional economic development

How does Continent benefit from our domestic resources and what is the role of liquid natural gas LNG?

Africa Gas Forum Partners

KNOWLEDGE PARTNER

As an institution interested in the Industrialization of Africa, we would like to learn from the world's largest Oil and Gas distributors and build partnership for the betterment of the continent. Russia has its strength in global oil and gas distribution and shall be instrumental in the Gas IPP and PPA side Indaba. We take as much joy from those we work with as the work itself. Driven to be the difference between a big idea and making it happen, we help our clients break through.

Oil and Gas Energy

The oil and gas industry is vital to Africa's economy, influencing transportation, electricity, and manufacturing. It comprises three main segments:

upstream (exploration and production),
midstream(transportation to refineries), and
downstream (refining and selling products like gasoline)..

Oil and natural gas are major industries in the energy market.

We will address the processes and systems involved in producing and distributing oil and gas. This is highly complex, capital-intensive, and require state-of-the-art technology. Networking with finance powerhouses will be much emphasize.

EVENT OVERVIEW

The Role of Independent Power Producers (IPPs) & Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in meeting Africa’s energy demands

There is huge international investor focus on African energy projects and the role of IPPs due to the power shortages and load shedding in the various regions and the increasing demand for energy amongst the growing economies. Opportunities for projects using renewable, mini-grid and storage technologies is expanding. We must emphasize on IPP development boom in the region increase investment across the continent in various technologies and project development opportunities.

This event serves as a knowledge hub for industry professionals, investors, and enthusiasts, offering insights into the evolving landscape of renewable energy, mini-grid solutions, and storage technologies. Delve into discussions on the future of the decentralized/corporate IPP/PPA sector, navigate challenges related to wheeling, and strategize on overcoming them. Gain understanding of bankability issues, consolidation concerns, and the appropriate risk allocation in the independent power producer sector. Uncover the role of hybrid power facilities, thermal technologies, and related ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) issues shaping the trajectory of the IPP/PPA sector.

Join us for a vital exploration of Africa’s energy sector at the upcoming IPP & PPA Conference.
