Africa Oil & Power (AOP), the energy investment platform in Africa, has announced that it will host the first ever Mozambique Gas & Power Conference & Exhibition in Maputo on 8-9 March 2021
Under the theme ‘Leveraging LNG: Building A Prosperous Mozambique’ Mozambique Gas & Power 2021 will focus on investment, downstream diversification, local capacity building and SMEs, and empowering women through the global Equalby30 initiative, as well as how to mitigate the challenges ahead, as the nation aims to be one of the top ten LNG producers worldwide.
James Chester, acting CEO of AOP, said, “At AOP we strive to tell the African energy story and attract investment into the energy sector. We have gathered industry leaders in African countries like South Sudan, Angola, South Africa and Equatorial Guinea, and in 2021 we will bring global investors and policymakers in oil and gas and power to Mozambique.
“This endeavor requires close cooperation and coordination among local businesses, national governments, financial institutions, international energy firms, international energy agencies and industrial players. It is imperative that this broad range of players find a reliable and frequent forum for meeting, discussing, innovating and closing deals.”
Workshops, training and certification programmes for local businesses and entrepreneurs will be a vital component of the event and will be held on 10 March. AOP will work with all actors in the Mozambican gas and power sectors, across government and private sector, to define opportunities and help new and existing investors make headway in the market.
