Africa’s gas market is set to grow significantly over the next two decades. There is great excitement around the large gas finds in Mozambique, Kenya and Tanzania, which has sparked a gas boom on the east coast.

The emergence of shale gas in South Africa’s Karoo and the commissioning of the Strategic Environmental Assessment of shale gas by the South African government have also drawn investor attention.

These discoveries mean potential gas exports which relate into economic development and income for countries, and the development of local industries as well as regional cooperation in producing a clean energy source.

Law firm Norton Rose Fulbright are sponsoring the inaugural Africa Energy Indaba Gas Forum, taking place on Monday, 15th February 2016 at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg.

Focused on Africa’s burgeoning energy sector

The Africa Gas Forum is aligned as an official side event of the annual Africa Energy Indaba. Norton Rose Fulbright is strategically focused on Africa’s burgeoning energy sector and is playing a leading role with negotiations on behalf of independent power producers, which includes drawing up the power purchase agreements for international energy investors.

The Africa Gas Forum is for those in the know, and for those ‘out of the know’ to get in the know.

The Forum has been created to ensure a balance between country specific opportunities as well as common issues that affect the whole region such as exploration activity, licensing rounds, development plans and the move to gas, new tax regimes, regional infrastructure projects, pipelines, LNG terminals, security, local content initiatives, investment requirements and other key upcoming projects.
