Across Africa’s energy and infrastructure sectors, one of the biggest barriers to scaling projects is the “offtaker confidence problem”, uncertainty around payment reliability, creditworthiness, transparency, and long-term demand certainty. This session explores whether digital infrastructure, including smart metering, digital payments, AI-driven risk assessment, data platforms, and interoperable energy systems, can help close the trust gap between developers, financiers, utilities, governments, and end users.
