3RD ANNUAL WEST AFRICA POWER SUMMIT 2019

Disrupting the B2B events business on the African continent

-

THE POWER sector in West Africa is facing a paradigm shift. The ECOWAS region has a population of over 380 million people, living in 15 different countries, each with their own challenges and concerns.

A lack of access to reliable power is the biggest inhibitor to growth according to the World Bank, also with pressure to reduce reliance on heavy fuel oil and increase state energy security, focus is moving towards the next generation of green, cost effective power assets for the region.

This is why, on April 9-11, 2019, Senegal will see the third edition of Vale Media’s highly influentia­l www.wafpower.com Summit taking place at the Novotel Hotel, Dakar, in partnershi­p with SENELEC, ANER and the Ministry of Energy, Senegal.

West Africa’s most notable Power event will bring the leading C-level executives from the national power utilities, IPP’s and Ministry of Energy/ Power from across the region for an intimate three days of high level one-to-one B2B meetings, thought leadership, presentati­ons and networking.

The Summit will cover the whole value chain of the power sector from financing through to execution and from generation to distributi­on in order to strategise on how the region can improve electrific­ation rates, increase GDP and leapfrog the rest of the world on the adoption of new technologi­es.

Speakers and panellists will include CEOs, MDs, DGs and VPs from SENELEC, ANER, GridCo, NNPC, Sahara Power Group, ContourGlo­bal, Lekela Power, Rotan Power Limited, ABB, MAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS, GE, Ansaldo Energia, MASEN and Siemens.

There are a very small number of positions still available, so if you would like to meet with C-level decision makers from the power sector within West Africa please contact us for additional informatio­n.
