The African Energy Chamber (AEC), however, remains resilient in its support for African hydrocarbons. It recognizes the importance these resources will play in ending energy poverty by 2030. While international institutions are beginning to abandon fossil fuels for the sake of climate change mitigation, African-based organizations like the Afreximbank are committed to African peoples&#8217; energy and their needs. Through the organization\u2019s partnership with the continent\u2019s premier event for the oil and gas industry, and the confirmation of a high-level delegation coming to AEW 2022 in Cape Town, the Afreximbank\u2019s support for Africa\u2019s energy future remains unwavering.<\/p>\n<p>Afreximbank, a pan-African bank, has been committed funding projects in the entire energy sector and value-chain, creating partnerships, and driving multi-sectoral growth in Africa. Deals including the $500 million investment to assist South Sudan\u2019s power transmission, infrastructure and agriculture sectors; the $250 million credit to Trans Niger Oil and Gas to help facilitate the acquisition of a 45% stake in the OML 17 onshore field; the $200 million loan facility agreement signed with the Egyptian General Petroleum Company to enhance power generation and distribution; and $400 million in loans and guarantees to support Mozambique\u2019s liquefied natural gas project demonstrate the institution\u2019s commitment to expanding Africa\u2019s energy sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLack of international investment in Africa\u2019s energy sector is preventing any progress on making energy poverty history and our fight against climate change. Afreximbank is supportive, proactive, resilient and has funded both small-scale and large-scale projects throughout the African energy industry. In 2022, where 600 million people are still without access to electricity and 900 million people without access to clean cooking, support from pan-African financial providers such as Afreximbank is of uttermost importance,\u201d states NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the AEC, adding that, \u201cWe are excited to host such a high-level delegation from one of Africa\u2019s leading financial institutions. The Afreximbank represents a key partner for African projects, and we look forward to a range of deals being signed and new partnerships forge that will put the continent on the right track to make energy poverty history by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Afreximbank will be joining other high-level delegate in Cape Town to take part in panel discussions and investor forums. They also plan to meet one-on-1 with investors and lay the foundation for an energy future that is based upon oil and gas. Led by Prof Oramah, the Afreximbank delegation will be coming to AEW 2022 to hold a real discussion on Africa\u2019s energy future, a discussion centered around Africa\u2019s needs, targets and commitments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i>Distributed by APO Group in support of African Energy Week.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Media<\/strong><br \/><em>For all sales inquiries, please contact [email\u00a0protected]<br \/>For attendance related questions, contact [email\u00a0protected]<br \/>For speaker-related questions, contact [email\u00a0protected]<br \/>For media inquiries, contact [email\u00a0protected]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>About African Energy Week:<\/strong><br \/>AEW 2022 is the AEC\u2019s annual conference, exhibition and networking event.
