Africa's Changing Energy Landscape

Monday, April 20, 2015 9:00 am - 11:45 am
Center for Strategic and International Studies1616 Rhode Island Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20036
New oil and gas discoveries across Africa have raised hopes among governments and citizens alike that major investments to spur economic growth and development are the horizon. But the recent collapse in oil prices and broader unease around the energy market leave the timetable for capitalizing on these new discoveries uncertain. Join us for a pair of panel discussions on what these discoveries mean for Africa's energy landscape and what role renewable energy sources can play in broader efforts to increase energy access and support development across the continent. The conference will serve as the launch of the new CSIS report, "Africa's New Energy Producers: Making the Most of Emerging Opportunities."

Christopher A. Smith
Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy, U.S. Department of Energy
 
Diana Jensen
Managing Director, Renewable Energy Finance, Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC)
 
Zephyr Taylor
Clean Energy Program Lead, USAID
