The challenge of improving access to energy in Africa will be addressed at the upcoming Enlit Africa conference and expo when it returns to Cape Town from 16–18 May 2023.
The chief executive officer (CEO), PAMAfrica, Nigeria, has been named key speaker where he is expected to present private sector roadmap to resolve Nigeria’s energy crises and initiatives to promote energy transition by exploring untapped natural resources the country is endowed with.
At the conference, key sessions would focus on Africa’s just energy transition and the importance of ensuring that energy access is a central outcome of that transition.
“We believe that the issue of energy access cannot be ignored,” said the event’s content director, Claire Volkwyn, adding that, “with figures predicting that between 700 million and 900 million are currently without energy access in Africa, this is a crisis that must be addressed.”
