This issue of African Energy leads with a focus on North Africa where a new era of energy co-operation with Europe is emerging amid a raft of export-focused projects ranging from renewables-powered electricity links to green hydrogen and data centres. Coverage includes double-page map.

Power features include a focus on Kenya, where Kenya Power is under pressure to stem commercial losses and lower consumer tariffs by one-third by Christmas, plus an examination of the news that  the Temane gas plant in Mozambique has reached financial close, showing that well-structured gas-fired projects can be aligned with developmental goals and international climate concerns .

In the C&I section, Marc Howard writes about Africa Data Centres' (ADC) shift to solar in South Africa and Nigeria. 

Delays to Nigeria's Dangote refinery and what this means for Nigeria's downstream are explored by African Energy's hydrocarbons editor James Gavin. 

This issue also includes a Transition Minerals section, where Jon Marks and François Misser delve into president Tshisekedi's aspirations to make the DR Congo a world leader in battery technology.
