Having established itself as a major player in the African oil and gas industry, the company’s South African subsidiary has been at the forefront of the country’s energy development, spearheading projects and progress across the exploration, production and retail industries. As BP South Africa and the larger group usher in a new era of energy expansion in Africa, the African Energy Week (AEW) conference – taking place from October 16-20 in Cape Town.
BP South Africa is making its return to AEW as a Platinum Sponsor, thereby taking on a central role in the event. The company’s high-level sponsorship speaks to the calibre of the event as well as to its role in facilitating investment and driving development across the African energy sector. Following a successful 2022 edition whereby BP also participated as a platinum sponsor at AEW as well as scooping the Environmental, Social and Governance Leader of the Year Award, bp’s participation at AEW 2023 is a testament to the company’s commitment to driving growth across Africa’s energy market while advancing local content development, infrastructure rollout and a just and inclusive energy transition.
NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber (AEC) said, “BP represents a strong partner for Africa and will continue to play a significant role in expanding energy markets, bringing new supplies online while facilitating long-term and sustainable growth on the back of energy investments.” In 2023, with many African countries working towards accelerating the development, exploitation and monetization of hydrocarbon resources to alleviate energy poverty, BP’s contribution to the sector has become increasingly impactful. During AEW 2023 and as a Platinum sponsor, BP South Africa will spearhead panel discussions, engage in networking forums and showcase current projects and progress across the African sector.
