Meeting two good #JETP friends at the #AfricanEnergySummit: the ministers for energy from South Africa Kgosientsho Ramokgopa and from Senegal Birame Solèye Diop. The Just Energy Transition Partnerships are masterpieces of bringing energy for all and pathways to #climate neutrality together.
This week, two dozen African heads of state have gathered at the #mission300 #AfricanEnergySummit in Tanzania to pledge their commitment to transforming their energy sectors and expanding access.

Beim #AfricanEnergySummit habe ich an ein afrikanisches Sprichwort erinnert: ‚Wenn Du schnell sein will, geh allein - wenn Du weit kommen willst geh zusammen mit anderen.‘ Das werden irgendwann auch Länder spüren, die - wie derzeit die USA - meinen, sie seien allein zu allem in der Lage.

In the margins of the #AfricanEnergySummit I met @ajaybanga.bsky.social president of the @wordbank.bsky.social. Through the World Bank we support access to energy and job creation in many partner countries. Special focus of our conversation was the urgently needed support for #Syria. #mission300
At a meeting under the AfricanEUEnergyPartnership #AEEP we discussed prior to the #AfricanEnergySummit in Dar Es Salaam about upscaling of energy investments in African countries. In my view the right regulatory framework, progress in the African Single Electricity Market and de-risking are key.
