In preparation for African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energy 2024 (www.AECWeek.com) in Cape Town this November, the upcoming reception will facilitate global investment across Africa’s energy sector. This event will provide participants with the opportunity to explore novel avenues for project financing within both established and emerging markets across the continent.
Given the current constraints on global capital for oil and gas projects, African hydrocarbon producers are reevaluating their legal and regulatory frameworks. This reassessment aims to prioritize transparency, incentivize private sector participation, and ensure competitiveness in the global energy landscape.
“The legal acumen and expertise of firms like Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle will help inform strategies for enhancing the competitiveness and commercial viability of Africa’s energy prospects. We welcome the high-level expertise and support that will be shared in London and which will place Africa’s energy industry in an even stronger position to maximize outcomes from Cape Town this November,” said NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber.
