Why Projects Don't Close: Repricing Risk for African Energy Deals

14 Oct 2026
Rhino Stage, Ballroom West
Energy Finance Forum
Too many technically sound projects stall before financial close, undone not by resource potential but by weak feasibility work, poor risk allocation, and a chronic shortage of early-stage capital to get projects to bankability. This session will unpack how currency volatility erodes projected returns, how geopolitical exposure raises the price of capital, and where sovereign guarantees and public interventions help or hinder financial closure of projects.
