Summary
The Powering Africa: Nigeria meeting is a focused 2-day investment summit taking place on 14 & 15 September 2015.

This timely meeting takes place shortly after the announcement of the new federal government, providing the opportunity for the private sector to realign strategy with the new vision for the future of power in Nigeria.

More Event Information
Nigeria is currently positioned as the largest economy in Africa and is poised to become the largest market in Africa for IPP projects. As the country aims to increase total installed capacity to 20,000MW by 2020 and with the unbundling of the oil and gas sector, and privatisation of the power sector underway, new generation capacity is going to rely solely on private sector investment. Government, public sector institutions, investors and power producers all come together to set a new precedent for African power driven by commercial capital and a commitment to the economic value of power generation.

C-level participants will hear directly from both the private and public sector as the industry defines the country's unique requirements for power acquisition and outlines the vast investment potential of this market.

Participants will debate solutions to the challenges of raising finance, opportunities for investors to participate in and support the growing industry, and the procurement trends which could realise the country’s vision of a stable and sufficient power supply.
