The demand for power in Africa continues to grow and the continent's energy market is more diverse than ever before. New technologies present new opportunities and risks, whilst existing models of power generation face new challenges. With bold initiatives like the African Development Bank's New Deal for Energy and Lighting Africa, now is the time to explore how Africa's renewable energy revolution will be financed.

The panel will discuss the role of various actors in this revolution and how they come together to deliver access to power.

Mira Davidovski - Counsel, Dentons LLP

Panelists:
Paul Hinks - CEO, Symbion Power
Amadou Hott - Vice President, Power, Energy, Climate & Green Growth, African Development Bank
Said Mouline - CEO, National Agency for the Development of Renewable Energy and Energy, Kingdom of Morocco
Dr. Kate Steel - Energy Director, Power Africa
