Energy Policy & Regulation

The African Energy Chamber (AEC) (EnergyChamber.org) has officially launched its highly anticipated 2022 outlook for the African energy sector. Dubbed ‘The State of African Energy 2022,’ the report provides a detailed understanding of the continent’s sector, introducing key insights and reliable and actionable information through the exploration of the forces shaping Africa’s energy industry. Representing the continent’s premier investment report, the outlook provides global and African stakeholders with a detailed understanding of current and emerging investment trends, offering up data-based solutions to the challenges faced by the industry.

The outlook emphasizes that holding significant resources does not necessarily result in accelerated socio-economic growth. Rather, supportive regulation, market-driven policies, and investment friendly fiscal terms will be critical if the continent is to realize its energy sector and economic objectives. With the world competing for global capital like never before, the AEC’s outlook emphasized the role that regional cooperation, harmonized regulations, and attractive business landscapes will play in 2022 and beyond.
