ALN, Africa’s leading alliance of integrated law firms, is set to make a significant impact at the highly anticipated 2025 Africa Energy Forum, which will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, from 17 – 20 June. As a key participant and sponsor of this prestigious event, ALN will showcase its energy sector expertise and contribute to shaping Africa’s sustainable energy future.
Energising Africa’s Future: ALN’s Commitment to Sustainable Solutions
Under the theme “Africa United,” the Africa Energy Forum serves as a dynamic platform for industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to converge and discuss strategies, innovations, and collaborations driving the continent’s energy transition. ALN’s presence at the forum will reinforce its commitment to providing comprehensive legal solutions and supporting the development of sustainable energy projects across Africa.
Industrial Energy-Intensive Users: How is Energy Used in Africa
As part of this year’s Africa Energy Forum, ALN will host an engaging and thought-provoking interactive panel session during the 2025 Youth Energy Summit titled “Industrial Energy-Intensive Users: How is Energy Used in Africa?” on Wednesday, 18 June 2025, from 3.30 PM (SAST). The session will explore crucial questions surrounding navigating the continent’s power markets. Participants will explore the outlook for corporate PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements), examining how to navigate challenges currently impeding project efforts.
Additionally, they will discuss how key players can strike a balance in the pace of the green transition. The panel will also debate the impact of moving away from purely sovereign power purchase agreements (PPAs) and whether this shift can improve investment risks.
