and senior representatives from four East African countries have
recently pledged their support in solving East Africa’s crippling power
deficit.
Key
speakers from the World Bank, African Development Bank (AfDB), IFC,
Barclays, Symbion Power, KenGen, KPLC, UMEME and EEP will address
game-changing actions for the power sector including; the critical role
transmission must play in East Africa’s industrialisation, the role of
power utilities, how best to overcome financing obstacles and how the
cost of regional borrowing can be lessened by unlocking the transmission
deadlock.
EnergyNet’s
Programme Manager Ms Veronica Bolton-Smith said of the recent
Ministerial confirmations; “When you consider that Powering East Africa
is a targeted meeting for a small number of participants, the presence
of four of the most powerful people in the region’s energy sector
highlights the need for such focused talks.”
