The South African Government in the form of the Department of Energy has recently released the updated version of the National Integrated Resource Plan (IRP 2010) for electricity generation.
In the IRP 2010 (update) review gas still plays the role of diversifying electricity generation, but depending on the nature of the possible shale gas exploration results this could blossom into a scenario of gas being a significant generator of electricity.
The National Development Plan also emphasise the importance of gas in the role of diversifying energy use in the country.
In many of the West African regions the next question is how to best harness natural gas to generate electricity locally and so contribute to the further industrialisation of each country.
East Africa has seen an exploration boom in offshore gas not witnessed for many a decade within Africa.
Mozambique has already announced plans to develop the first liquefaction train for LNG exports.
With all of these developments in mind the conference is well placed to allow for mutual exchange of ideas between participants and to allow for informed ideas which will influence each participant and their company.
