African Energy, Issue 484 cover
Issue 484 - 12 May 2023

The issue leads with Angola, where international energy majors are investing to raise oil and gas output and developing solar plants, while others are looking to tap into Angola’s critical minerals and other resources plays.

With news flow suggesting considerable activity in diverse energy-related industries, but wary of governance shortfalls, African Energy asks: is it time for investors to get excited about Angola?

Power coverage includes a focus on Africa's growing C&I sector. According to the African Energy Live Data platform, the capacity of plants supplying electricity to commercial and industrial customers around Africa is expected to grow by 25% in two years.

Oil and gas coverage leads with Gabon, which is looking to reverse historic output
decline as offshore drilling builds up, and includes a feature on Mozambique where energy majors are inching closer to resuming work on LNG projects.

The African Energy View examines the impetus needed to drive Sapp’s potentially transformational cross-border transmission model, which is experiencing bureaucratic barriers for a key financing facility that could unblock projects held in limbo for years.
