Hosted by Africa Oil & Power, the conversation will feature contributions from NELISIWE MAGUBANE, Chairperson of Matleng Energy Solutions; SUZANNE JAWOROWSKI, Senior Advisor of Policy & Communications at the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy and MASSAER CISSE, General Manager of Lekela Power Senegal.

"The global pandemic coupled with the low oil price is encouraging many countries to relook at their energy mixes and energy transition plans in line with the current global environment. With each day, there are new complexities in planning energy transitions that will not jeopardize government's long-term energy strategies," said NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber.
"While we may naturally want to look into solutions such as small scale nuclear reactors, wind, solar and hydro, we are unfortunately, faced with immense challenges presented by restrictions aiming at fighting the pandemic as the first step. Through this webinar we hope to provide insight on the ideal way, specifically for African countries, to plan ahead despite the challenges," he added.
