The Summit will explore a mix of fossil fuel and clean energy solutions to optimize power generation and distribution capabilities in Africa. Notably, discussions will include the integration of gas into the energy matrix, highlighting projects like Senegal's Sandiara and South Africa's Richards Bay gas-to-power facilities. Furthermore, the Summit will delve into Africa's growing commitment to renewables and green hydrogen, with projects like Mauritania's Aman and Morocco's Nour leading the way. The event will also address nuclear power prospects in Africa, with countries like Burkina Faso and South Africa making strides in nuclear power investments. Through a focus on technology innovation and diversification of the energy mix, the Summit aims to drive sustainable growth and development in Africa's energy sector.
