In addition to the plenary agenda, the summit is proud to welcome esteemed industry partners who are shaping Africa’s energy landscape.
Energy Council South Africa, as the unified voice of business for the energy sector in the country, brings together key public and private sector entities, professional associations, and financial institutions that actively participate in South Africa’s energy industry. Its purpose is to promote a thriving and sustainable energy sector that supports inclusive economic growth.
The Banking Association of South Africa (BASA), an industry association representing domestic and international banks licensed to operate in the country, advocates for its members’ interests. BASA strives to ensure that banks can provide financial services that support inclusive economic growth, good governance, and environmental and social sustainability in South Africa.
The African Forum for Utility Regulators (AFUR) focuses on the regulation of energy, telecommunications, transport, water, and sanitation industries. AFUR plays a vital role in the integration and revitalization of Africa, aligning with the African Union and the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). Its vision and objectives stem from the NEPAD Framework Document, which recognizes the establishment of the African Forum for Utility Regulation and regional regulatory associations.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Energy Council South Africa, BASA, and AFUR as partners of GEAS 2023, and we express our heartfelt gratitude for their support,” said Sinclair.
