The eighth annual finance options meeting is scheduled for October 30, 2014 in Cape Town, South Africa. The principal pan-African executive briefing will host senior-level directors and CEOs to get to “the heart of the issues and opportunities surrounding the financing of power projects within Africa.”

According to EnergyNet Ltd, the program will focus on a series of open discussions chaired by regional experts focusing on key trends including the development of IPP programmes, financial frameworks and regulatory environments.

EnergyNet Ltd also noted: “As Africa’s demand for power generation continues to outstrip supply, the question of how to finance the future of Africa’s power sector looms large. Prospective investors must fully understand the latest developments in Africa’s finance sector in order to launch successful projects and build long term relationships with local government.”
