The view from the Summit – Part One

Ursula Owczarkowski participated in a panel at the African Law & Business Summit and is quoted in an article providing a highlights from the event. Drawing on her 12 years of experience in the energy and gas sectors in sub-Saharan Africa, Owczarkowski noted that there was “huge scope for development," and huge demand for power – but the pace of change was slow, and so was the resulting growth in capacity. She also outlined the pitfalls of power projects in some detail, while acknowledging that there were many successful ones, including in the growing renewables sector.
