Regional development is the key to unlocking Africa’s energy investment potential it is with this in mind that EnergyNet are delighted to launch the groundbreaking Southern Africa Energy & Infrastructure Summit, which will bring together countries from the SADC region and beyond in Maputo, Mozambique from 4th to 6th of May to celebrate regional co-operation and promote energy and infrastructure projects that require both private and public-sector support to succeed.

This vibrant region has experienced many positive developments in recent years, both in energy and infrastructure development. Progress in governance, institution building and democratic consolidation are contributing factors to the positive indicators that long-term investors seek.

In tandem with this, southern Africa has witnessed local private sector-led initiatives, and wider participation in exciting projects such as South Africa’s ground breaking REIPPPP programme.
