Enlit Africa, a critical business event gathering the entire value chain across the energy and water sectors, has begun in Cape Town, South Africa, with doors remaining open for three-day event at the Cape Town International Convention Center

Under the tagline of “We power your interactions”, the structured event is dedicated to opening up conversations, creating opportunities and shaping the future of the African continent. As a self-styled catalyst for growth and progress, it offers the opportunities for attendees to connect with industry leaders and explore transformative solutions.

GE Vernova gets involved at Enlit

A range of top-level energy companies have been eagerly awaiting the start of the conference, including GE Vernova which has encouraged attendees to visit its exhibition at booth C22 in Hall 3.

The company has indicated that visitors will be able to explore and interact with innovations spanning across the power generation, transmission and distribution sectors.

“Energy enables growth and progress – which is why investing in reliable and affordable power is as critical as advancing lower carbon power to support health, connectivity, safety, security, and improved quality of life,” commented Kenneth Oyakhire, MD & CEO of services in sub-Saharan Africa for Gas Power at GE Vernova. “At GE Vernova, we believe that the strategic deployment of renewables and gas power together can help accelerate the continent’s energy transition efforts, enabling substantive reductions in emissions quickly and at scale, while continuing to advance the technologies for low or near-zero carbon power generation.

“We also recognise that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Multiple technologies and fuel sources will be needed, together with investments in transmission and distribution systems, as well as software solutions, with local conditions dictating what works best. The public, private, and not-for-profit sectors must work together, with governments taking the lead to structure transparent and predictable market mechanisms and policies, incentivise reductions in power sector carbon intensity, allow life-cycle economics to drive investment decisions, and encourage research on new technologies and business models.”
