Sub-Saharan Africa Energy Opportunities
Join the U.S. Commercial Service (CS), Power Africa, and the Vuka Group for a one-hour webinar highlighting energy sector opportunities for U.S. firms interested in expanding into or increasing market presence in Sub-Saharan Africa.
WHY AFRICA’S ENERGY MARKET?
Africa holds enormous resources, which can supply the world with energy from diversified energy sources. With a population exceeding one billion people, and with an estimated combined economy of $1.5 trillion, huge opportunities lie in wait for developers, operators, and investors.
The African Development Bank’s (AfDB) New Deal has an aspirational vision of giving one billion Africans access to modern energy services by 2025. This indicates significant opportunities do exist in the African market for energy developers, those providing the latest solutions and services, and investors.
