2025 Agenda Sessions

Africa Mining...who has the Power?

  • The total energy generated each year in the African continent is less than half that of Spain. So how will African miners meet the growing global demands for minerals - especially when increasing uncertainties arising from more severe El Nino events and changing climatic patterns are threatening the viability of hydro-power as a primary source of electrical energy. 
  • The panel will discuss a range of potential solutions to the energy crisis, including new power generation technologies, improved levels of energy use and circularity, the role of Government power authorities, and greater cooperation and innovation across African Regional Power pool 
  • If power shortages become permanent, what impact will this have on project risk profiles, the ability of companies to raise funds for African mining projects
