Head of Trading at Sahara Energy International Geneva, Jerome Espinasse, will deliver a keynote speech on the conference theme, ‘Africa First: Delivering Our Energy Future.’ With over two decades of experience in energy trading and infrastructure development, Espinasse will highlight the crucial role of “inclusive and equitable energy framework” to address the current situation that leaves over 600 million Africans without access to electricity.

Head of Trade Finance at Sahara Energy, Nathalie Musson-Genon, will join the panel on ‘The Africa Infrastructure Challenge: Critical Investments to Meet Future Energy Demand.’ The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that Africa’s energy consumption will rise by over 70 per cent in the next two decades. Musson-Genon will make a strong case for collaboration as Africa’s most promising “silver bullet” to tackle infrastructure deficit and increasing energy demand.

The panel on “Investing in Human Capital – Empowering the Next Generation of Industry Leaders,” will feature Jessica Akintade, Regional HR Manager at Sahara Group. Akintade, a product of Sahara’s robust leadership development policies, will advocate strategies to intentionally develop young Africans in line with ongoing transformation of the energy sector.

“Africa’s youth comprise over 60 per cent of its population and this is projected to double by 2050. We need a proactive people strategy that is transgenerational. Sahara Group is already driving this through sundry graduate management trainee programs that cut across the energy value chain, Obioma added.

According to Obioma, Sahara Group continues to lead Africa’s energy security quest through innovative solutions, partnerships, and sustainable interventions. “We believe that ARDA 2025 should give traction to the Africa for Africa vision, with the continent playing a lead role in its energy future and development agenda, alongside global support from other stakeholders,” he concluded.
