MSGBC 2025 aims to boost energy investment and collaboration

MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025, taking place in Dakar, Senegal from December 9-10, will host top global advisers and institutions to highlight major developments in LNG, green hydrogen, and renewables.

The event aims to advance regional energy investment and collaboration as West Africa accelerates energy expansion through large-scale infrastructure, oil, gas, mining, and renewable energy developments.

The conference serves as a critical platform to foster cooperation and unlock shared growth across Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea-Conakry.

Africa International Advisers (AIA), a strategic advisory firm specialising in integrated infrastructure, energy, and mining across the African continent, will bring valuable insights to the event, drawing on their experience in utility-scale renewable power, gas-to-power initiatives, transmission infrastructure, and public sector reform within energy institutions.

A dedicated workshop on the event’s pre-conference day is expected to provide practical guidance on project preparation and financing.

Business management consultant Conjuncta is leading the development of a $34 billion green hydrogen project in Mauritania, in collaboration with renewable energy company Infinity Power and investment agency Masdar.

Stefan Liebing, CEO of Conjuncta, is expected to drive discussions around the potential for green hydrogen in supporting industrialisation and clean energy exports in West Africa.

S&P Global Commodity Insights, Director of Energy & Natural Resources, will also speak at the event, providing critical market intelligence to investors and policymakers across the MSGBC basin.

Rita Madeira, Africa Programme Officer-West and Southern Africa, the International Energy Agency (IEA) will also be confirmed to speak at MSGBC 2025.

"The participation of top-tier global advisors and institutions – whose expertise spans project finance, legal advisory and energy infrastructure – at this year’s event underscores growing international confidence in the region’s energy expansion. This exciting lineup of speakers reinforces our mission to facilitate bankable deals, targeted knowledge-sharing and cement regional partnerships," states Sandra Jeque, Project Director, ECP.
