Under the theme “Energy Growth Through an Enabling Environment,” AEW was launched in 2021 with the mission of making energy poverty a thing of the past by 2030.
Actively contributing to energy development in Angola, Etu Energias is a key player in the industry. Recognizing the importance of financing as a crucial component for Africa's energy future, Fernando Hermes, Chief Financial Officer, took part in the session “Strategic Financing for Oil and Gas - Unlocking African Assets Through New Risk and Financial Solutions.”
The panel focused on the complex dynamics of energy financing in Africa, discussing delays in divestment processes, governmental frameworks, and the central role of DFIs and financial institutions, with particular attention to Nigeria, Angola, and South Africa.
The Energy Financing Summit brings together lenders, investors, developers, and operators to discuss the financial viability of African energy projects and the immediate solutions needed to facilitate African and international financing flows.
AEW promotes Africa's role in global energy issues, centering on dialogue and African-led decision-making. Spanning the entire energy sector and value chain, AEW stands as the only conference on the continent that represents the full scope of the energy sector.
