" With Tanzania being one of our founding member countries, we are keen to do more in support of the country's energy sector goals; Building on the progress made at last year's event in Dar es Salaam, we hope that #TECS24 will provide greater clarity on the proposed role of the private sector in the energy sector and how DFIs, particularly multilateral insurers and guarantors like ATIDI, can be supportive of such efforts and the wider energy transition.

Bowmans is a leading African law firm with offices in Kenya, Mauritius, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia and Alliance firms in Ethiopia and Nigeria. The firm’s energy specialists offer an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Sub-Saharan Africa environment having been involved in several ground-breaking energy projects in the region. Its presence ‘on-the-ground’ and familiarity with the risks of investing in the sector (including policy uncertainty, procurement and execution risks, off-take/market risks, tariff regulation, social and environmental risks, and the project risks posed by scarce transportation logistics, pipeline and grid infrastructure) is a key differentiator. Bowmans acts for a wide range of clients including developers, sponsors, public utilities, funds, commercial banks and other financial institutions, and governments.

" The 5th Tanzania Energy Cooperation Summit marks a pivotal moment for Africa's energy sector. By uniting investors, government entities, and industry specialists, we're fostering dialogues crucial for advancing Tanzania's energy roadmap, prioritizing gas and renewables, and enhancing regional transmission.
