While it is expected that LNG production will not kick off until 2020 at the earliest, it will transform the structure of Mozambique’s economy, as well as government revenues and exports among other things. Concerns that the collapse in oil prices could cause big delays in the commercialization of Mozambique’s LNG projects is putting increased focus the potential of new power transmission lines to boost power trading.

This panel will discuss:• What is the latest status of Mozambique’s natural gas resources and projects?• How to manage both national and international expectations: maintaining interest in the medium and long-term potential of LNG• What can power generation using renewable sources do to plug the gap in energy markets• Examining the need for more regulatory frameworks to support sustainable, renewable energy growth

Africa Confidential is one of the longest-established specialist publications on Africa, with a considerable reputation for being first with in-depth news and analysis on significant political, economic and security developments across the continent.

Our track record owes much to our comprehensive network of local correspondents, and the connections we’ve built up throughout Africa since we started publishing back in 1960.

Why ‘confidential‘?This continent-wide, on-the-ground coverage enables us to identify and monitor upcoming issues long before they are picked up by the general media – and analyse their real significance for our readers.

What’s more, all our contributors write for us on the basis of strict anonymity, a principle that was established from the outset in 1960 to ensure writers’ personal safety in the turbulent, early years of post-colonial African independence. Hence the newsletter’s title.

Who reads Africa Confidential?Today, Africa Confidential is read fortnightly by a wide range of institutions and individuals around the world, all of them united in their need for timely, accurate and incisive analysis of contemporary African developments.
