According to a recent McKinsey report, global energy demand is projected to rise substantially, potentially increasing by up to 18% by 2050, largely driven by emerging economies, including Africa. Despite this growth, per capita energy consumption in these regions is expected to stay below that of developed markets due to ongoing energy efficiency initiatives. Additionally, technological advancements, including AI and the expansion of data centres, are anticipated to play a major role in fuelling the global increase in energy demand.
Mozambique has the largest power generation potential of all Southern African countries, with the capacity to generate 187 GW of power from coal, hydro, gas, solar, wind, and other renewable sources, according to Deloitte’s Africa Energy Outlook Report 2024. With approximately 62% of Mozambique’s population living in rural areas, the Government’s national programme “Energy for All” aims to achieve universal access and expand power generation systems by 2030.
With numerous energy megaprojects at various phases of development, there is a timely opportunity and responsibility for the public and private sectors to cooperate to ensure that the innovations and technologies being deployed are an enabler for, local jobs creation, technical capacity and knowledge development, socioeconomic growth and a positive contributor to decarbonisation and sustainable transition.
In line with this vision, dmg events and its partners ENH are delighted to announce that the ninth annual Mozambique Gas & Energy Summit & Exhibition, taking place 19-21 November 2024 at the Joaquim Chissano International Conference Centre in Maputo, will host a fully CPD-accredited Technical Seminar. Held under the theme Technical Capacity: Innovating Mozambique’s Energy System, the Seminar will serve as a crucial platform to for attendees to engage in dedicated learning and development.
Through cutting-edge sessions on the latest innovations, research findings, and industry best practices defining the energy transition, attendees can enhance their practical capabilities and intellectual capital, elevating their day-to-day job performance and advancing careers.
