Press Release: The increasing role of Gas to Power from an African perspective

SINGAPORE, 06 June 2011 – Global warming or the recent favourite term “climate change” has always been a hot debatable topic. Almost everyone is trying to do something to contribute to a greener environment. The corporations are making it part of their business plans to be more environmentally friendly.

In the oil and gas context, more and more governments are studying the feasibility to switch to natural gas for their power generation.  This strong interest for Gas to Power is especially pertinent in Africa, where power generation is traditionally fuelled by hydro, diesel, coal or heavy fuel oils. However, it has never been a smooth road for power industry in Africa where the market is hungry for energy consumption yet the frustrations due to power outages are hindering their needs due to lack of supply and proper governance.

Mr Mohsin Seedat, Associate Director for Global Infrastructure and Projects Group of KPMG South Africa will be addressing the issue in Neoedge’s 2^nd Annual Africa Gas and LNG Summit which will be held at the Radisson Blu Sandton Hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Mr Seedat will be touching on these topics of Gas to Power in the Southern African context

§   The increasing role of gas to power over the next decade

§   What is required for investments in feasibility studies to translate into bankable projects

§   Exploring the divide - Gas pricing versus electricity tariffs

§   What shall differentiate future gas projects

Africa Gas and LNG Summit (AFGAS) is an annual summit series developed by Neoedge. 2011 will be the second year running.

Uruguay says Gazprom, LUKOIL eye its energy sector

MONTEVIDEO, April 14 | Fri Apr 15, 2011 12:40am BST
 

MONTEVIDEO, April 14 (Reuters) - An Uruguayan official said on Thursday that Russian energy heavyweights Gazprom (GAZP.MM) and LUKOIL (LKOH.MM) are eager to explore for oil and natural gas in the South American nation and join bidding on a regasification terminal.

"The exploration of crude and gas was one issue and the other was the regasification plant and the sale of liquefied gas. In both cases (the companies) showed great interest," said Ramon Mendez, energy director at Uruguay's Energy Ministry, referring to a technical mission that traveled to Russia.

Bidding on a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal that will supply Uruguay and neighboring Argentina should take place in May or June, according to comments made by Uruguayan President Jose Mujica in February.
