Africa Energy Forum to now take place from 20-22 October, Amsterdam Dear Ayoub, I am pleased to be able to inform you we’ve taken the decision to relocate this year’s Africa Energy Forum to Amsterdam, the Netherlands from 20-22 October 2020. The move comes in the interests of all attendees’ safety after weeks of monitoring the COVID-19 situation and its impact on global economies. We’ve chosen Amsterdam for a number of reasons – most importantly its exceptionally resilient economy and $42bln investment fund being deployed across the continent to support energy transition goals. The Netherlands played host to the very first aef back in 1999, and continues to play an exceptional role in the development finance space, with FMO being a significant and highly regarded player. This decision has not been taken lightly and we hope you will recognise this opportunity to fast-track your business development after a significant period of disruption. Despite these challenging times we’ve continued to receive registrations and high level speakers, so are confident this postponement will be timely and continue to focus heavily on your project development objectives. Between now and October, EnergyNet will host a series of webinars and other online content focusing on strategic energy programmes such as the REIPPPP resurgence in South Africa. These will define the direction these programmes are taking in order to prepare your strategies to be among the preferred bidders by October. One thing that hasn’t changed and never will is our commitment to the sector. We’re every bit as passionate about delivering the outstanding networking experience you’ve come to expect, and driving the sector forward – even at such a challenging time.
