SUMMARY:Africa Investment Exchange: Power & Renewables 2023
DESCRIPTION:AIX was set up in 2014 to establish an enduring dialogue for investors and energy industry professionals\, with the aim of stimulating business engagement and long- term partnerships. \nAlongside our usual lively mix of panel discussions\, held\, as ever under the Chatham House Rule\, our 2023 programme also includes an afternoon of roundtables focused on Matching finance and projects. \nWe hope they prove to be a useful addition to the AIX format\, which is known for its robust debate and knowledge-led approach. \nAfrica’s evolving power network also assumes a greater significance in this year’s programme with sessions focusing on linking power markets\, the future of wheeling\, financing decentralised energy and a data-led discussion on the growth potential of the C&I sector.
