Governments will also showcase their country&rsquo;s energy policy landscape and planned energy projects ripe for investment.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Sinclair, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Future Energy Series: Africa said &ldquo;Africa&rsquo;s energy transition is unique globally and must be treated as such. FESA takes the view that both renewables and hydrocarbons will be necessary to provide reliable, low-cost power for the continent&rsquo;s young, growing population. We are delighted to be working with our government patrons, as well as our partners: The Extractives Industries Transparency Initiative, The African Forum for Utility Regulators and the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership to drive investment into Africa and map the continent&rsquo;s energy future.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Further updates about Future Energy Series: Africa are coming soon.
