The African Energy Chamber (AEC) the voice of the African energy sector, has endorsed and this year’s edition of the Namibia International Energy Conference, which begins from April 25 to 27 in Windhoek, the nation’s capital.
Taking place under the theme “Shaping the Future of Energy Towards Value Creation.” the 5th edition of the Namibia International Energy Conference will unite Namibian energy leaders and industry professionals with global partners to discuss challenges and opportunities within the country’s evolving landscape.
As a strategic partner for the annual event, the AEC says it is excited to play a leading role facilitating Namibian and African energy stakeholders to gather and engage with global counterparts and discuss ways to fast-track energy developments for energy security and economic expansion.
In the words of NJ Ayuk, the Executive Chairman of the AEC, “Namibia has a huge role to play in stabilizing energy supply and ensuring affordability across the region, as we seek to make energy poverty history in Africa by 2030. Globally, we are targeting economic expansion and a just and inclusive energy transition, in which oil and gas resources will be vital.”
The emergence of Namibia’s oil and gas industry has revitalized Africa’s upstream sector, with TotalEnergies and Shell making giant discoveries in the Venus and Graff-1 prospects in the Orange Basin, offshore Namibia in 2022.
