By Daily news reporter

 

GL Africa Energy (GLAE), a premier pan-African energy solutions provider and subsidiary of the Janus Continental Group, is set to send a high-level delegation to the Africa Energy Forum (AEF) 2024, which will be held from June 25-28 in Barcelona, Spain. The delegation will include Group Chief Executive Officer Mr. Kevin Teeroovengadum, Chief Executive Officer of Power Dr. Brian Mushimba, Ph.D., and Head of Financing and Fundraising Mr. Divya Bagrecha. These leaders will engage with energy experts, investors, and key stakeholders from across Africa and the globe to discuss critical issues related to power generation, infrastructure development, and access to sustainable, affordable energy on the continent.

 

Ms. Kawiria Rincuni, Marketing Manager at Janus Continental Group, highlighted the strategic importance of GLAE's participation, stating, "The primary purpose for attending AEF is business development and stakeholder engagement. From an energy perspective, it's an opportunity to lay the foundation for our vision and commitment to deliver reliable, accessible, and cleaner energy solutions across East, Central, and Southern Africa."

She added, "The forum allows us to drive conversations around the energy crises in the region, affecting countries like Zambia, and propose tangible solutions to address the urgent need for stable energy supplies."

 

Dr. Mushimba emphasized GLAE's role as a comprehensive energy solutions provider, tailoring its offerings to the African market. "With an audience of key power sector stakeholders at this conference, we shall engage and share insights, ideas, and strategies to tackle the pressing energy challenges facing sub-Saharan Africa. AEF arrives at an incredibly crucial time for a region grappling with growing energy deficits, crippling power shortages, and the existential threat of climate change. Investing in a diversified, climate-resilient energy mix has become an urgent priority. Our solutions leverage a strategic mix of technologies customized to meet the unique requirements of potential customers across the region."

 

Dr. Mushimba also stressed the critical role of governments in establishing conducive environments for private sector growth and energy development through investments.

"We will impress upon government officials the necessity of creating enabling policies, robust legal frameworks, and liberalized energy markets,"

He added that if governments can provide that foundational support through progressive regulations and upholding the rule of law, the private sector can deliver innovative, sustainable energy solutions that spur economic growth and improve livelihoods.
