Upstream operators, investors and power developers discuss challenges and opportunities along the gas value chain.

- To what extent do you subscribe to the theory that some African utilities could go the way of fixed line telephone companies and disruptive events could cause them to radically change their business model?
- Will the softness in global energy prices create more favourable conditions for LNG import projects in SSA?

- Why haven’t virtual pipelines (CNG and LNG) made more headway in SSA. Will this change soon?
- How might we solve the gas to power conundrum in SSA?
