The main energy problems facing African countries today is the lack of access to commercial energy, the access to finance for developing its own resources and managing the price volatility on international markets affecting imports and export revenues. Another related problem is the loss of value added to foreign firms executing economic activities generated in countries with a developed energy industry.
At the eighth edition of this Pan African conference our focus will be on cooperation for development of the continent´s energy industry as well as dealing with finance issues interfacing the energy development.
