Egypt to host 21st Association of Power Utilities of Africa Conference on 26 September
Mahmoud Esmat, Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, has met with Abel Didier Tella, Director General of the Association of Power Utilities of Africa (APUA), and his accompanying delegation at the ministry's headquarters in the New Administrative Capital to finalise preparations for Egypt's hosting of the 21st APUA General Conference in Cairo from 26 September to 3 October 2025. Gaber Desouki, Chairperson of the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company, also attended the meeting. The event will be held under the patronage of Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly. The conference coincides with the 55th anniversary of APUA's founding and will see leadership transferred from Senegal to Egypt—a continuation of Egypt's previous roles as Chair of the Scientific Committee and First Vice-President. Egypt's selection underscores African and international confidence in its capacity to guide dialogue on the continent's energy future, leveraging its extensive technical expertise and strong infrastructure. Organised in partnership with the African Development Bank and the APUA Secretariat, the gathering is expected to attract around 1,500 participants, including African ministers of electricity and energy, heads of utilities, policymakers, senior officials, experts, regional and international development partners, and representatives from leading energy companies. Esmat said the conference affirms Egypt's pioneering role in advancing Africa's energy sector and offers an ideal platform to shape a collective vision aligned with global developments. He reiterated Egypt's commitment to supporting Africa's energy transition, expanding renewable energy adoption, and achieving its national targets of 42% renewable energy by 2030 and 65% by 2040. This year's theme—'Challenges of the Energy Transition'—will address energy transformation, sector reforms, governance, sustainability of African utilities, and the continent's energy future. The programme includes the CEO and Governance Forum, the African Single Electricity Market Forum (AfSEM), and the African Women in Energy Forum (AWEF), alongside expert panels, workshops, technical exhibitions, and site visits to key Egyptian energy projects. A concurrent exhibition will showcase innovative technologies and solutions from national and international manufacturers and service providers.

Investment Decision on Kronos Gas Field Could Be Reached as Early as this Year, Cyprus Energy Minister Says
Yara Sameh Energy Minister George Papanastasiou on Thursday said the next couple of months will see crucial developments regarding the future commercialisation of the Kronos offshore gas field. Papanastasiou added that important talks were held in Nicosia last week between himself and Karim Badawi, Egypt's Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources. The talks were attended by senior officers of energy companies ENI and Total Energies – the consortium that holds the concession on offshore Block 6 where the Kronos reservoir is located. Discovered in 2022, Kronos is estimated to hold over 3 trillion cubic feet of gas in place. The reservoir was subsequently appraised in 2024. A development agreement between ENI and Total Energies, along with the governments of Cyprus and Egypt, outlines plans to process and export the gas through Egypt's existing infrastructure. In February 2025 the governments of Cyprus and Egypt, plus the Block 6 consortium, signed a 'host government' agreement. It sets out Egypt as the 'host government' for Block 6 and the Kronos, Zeus, and Calypso gas fields, which are present under its seabed, meaning that the gas extracted will be sent to the Segas liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the Egyptian port city of Damietta for liquefaction. Papanastasiou revealed that already important commercial agreements have been 'formulated' between the investors (the two energy companies) and Egypt. The deals cover the entire spectrum of the supply chain, from the export of the natural gas up to its liquefaction at the facilities in Damietta. At the same time, a separate gas sales deal is being drafted between Cyprus and the investors. The minister said that the final draft should be ready by the end of August. 'September will be a month of talks aimed at getting signatures by the end of October,' stated Papanastasiou. Meantime, ENI and Total Energies have submitted to the Cypriot government a draft development and production plan for the Kronos gas play. The plan outlines both the technical aspects as well as the commercial aspect. The minister revealed that the two companies intend to take a final investment decision for Kronos sometime within the year. He described that timeline as 'difficult but feasible'. If all goes smoothly, he added, 2027 could be the year for the first flow of natural gas from Kronos. 'What's significant is that 100 per cent of the gas will go to liquefaction and export.' read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
