The issue leads with a focus on Sudan, where control over energy facilities has become a key strategic factor in the country’s latest descent into civil war, with oil refining and electricity generation infrastructure divided between opposing forces. African Energy also focuses on Tanzania, where the government is planning for an anticipated surge in demand for electricity in the coming years by adding more gas-fired capacity to the grid and pushing ahead with renewable energy projects. The issue also takes a closer look at the formidable economic challenges awaiting Nigeria's new President Bola Tinubu, including cutting subsidies and overhauling the exchange rate. Power coverage leads with a look at North Africa, with an analysis of the latest figures from African Energy Live Data showing that over the next five years the region will pour ever more natural gas into a growing fleet of open cycle plants. Upstream coverage leads with an examination of Ghana's much-delayed Greater Pecan offshore oil project, which appears to have been given a new lease of life, after Lagos-headquartered Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) took a 50% stake in the field, via the acquisition of Aker Energy. African Energy also takes a closer look at Savannah Energy’s dispute with the Chadian government, with diplomatic ties between Chad and Cameroon under stress after the London AIM-listed oil company’s new deal to sell part of its interest in the Chad-Cameroon export pipeline. The African Energy View focuses on the role of gas in Africa's energy transition.
