Russia’s state-owned nuclear corporation Rosatom has been accelerating nuclear energy development in Africa, says the company, which joined the African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energy conference – scheduled for November 4-8 – as a gold sponsor. Currently, there is a surge in nuclear energy adoption in Africa, with projects targeting 15 GW of operational capacity by 2035, the Nuclear Business Platform estimates. AEW: Invest in African Energy is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. The deal also features a clear roadmap to enhance the country’s nuclear power adoption, including the establishment of a regulatory framework for nuclear energy. In addition to nuclear power development, Rosatom is driving nuclear energy capacity building and training across Africa.
