MAPUTO, Mozambique, March 3, 2016\/APO (African Press Organization)\/ — <\/span><\/p>\n

Gigawatt\u00a0Mozambique announced this week\u00a0a\u00a0$200-million\u00a0investment into Mozambique\u2019s power sector,\u00a0alongside several global stakeholders including Standard Bank and the World Bank, amongst many others.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The investment\u00a0will assist in harnessing Mozambique\u2019s natural-gas resources, which will further benefit many of Mozambique\u2019s neighbours in the southern Africa region. \u00a0<\/p>\n

This – along with several other projects in the SADC region – will be\u00a0presented and discussed at\u00a0EnergyNet\u2019s\u00a0upcoming Southern Africa Energy and Infrastructure Summit (SAEIS) (www.Southern-Africa-Summit.com), taking place in Maputo, Mozambique 4-6th\u00a0May 2016. \u00a0The summit will celebrate regional co-operation, and promote energy and infrastructure projects that require both private- and public-sector support in order to be realised.<\/p>\n

EnergyNet\u2019s\u00a0Regional Director\u00a0for East and Southern Africa\u00a0Veronica Bolton-Smith commented that \u2018regional development is the key to unlocking Africa\u2019s energy investment potential – SAEIS will bring together countries from the SADC region to discuss live infrastructure and energy projects which require investment\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

This vibrant region has experienced many positive developments in recent years, both in energy and infrastructure development. Progress in governance, institution-building and democratic consolidation are contributing factors to the positive indicators that long-term investors seek.<\/p>\n

The Summit\u00a0will explore some of southern Africa\u2019s success stories, and how these can be replicated. Southern Africa has witnessed local private-sector led initiatives, and wider participation in exciting projects\u00a0such as South Africa\u2019s ground breaking REIPPPP programme – an initiative which will be explored at the SAEIS.<\/p>\n

The Summit will also hear from key stakeholders participating in the\u00a0Moatize\/Nacala\u00a0railway project,\u00a0which will run\u00a0between Malawi and Mozambique: an\u00a0infrastructure project set to re-define southern Africa and its investment potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
