The 9th annual WAPIC convention: |
Access to finance and developing the investment environment is a must for the main conference and pre-conference day. This remains the major bottleneck in the development of the industry. There is a desired need to get IFC, World Bank and all the multilateral donors for this session. This continues the dialogue between the financiers, policy makers and utility/project developers to increase cash flow into the sector. Tariffs shall form one of the major topic as well and government concessions around PPAs.
We have some exciting content for 2012 with Pre-conference workshops, Large Power Users, Generation Mix Session... Co-located with WAPIC 2012, we have the Water Utilities West Africa which will bring together the key decision-makers in the power, oil & gas and water sectors, where infrastructure development & investment is crucial for their progress.
Power generation and access to gas will be discussed. David Ige, the Gas Master plan lead in Nigeria for NNPC, should present a paper as well as Mahama Kappiah from ECREEE. They would have to share the renewable energy potential and projects in the West African region. Read more...
