The African Energy Moment explores a defining period in Africa’s energy history. Drawing on more than 25 years of professional experience in the energy sector, together with publicly available information and industry analysis, Franck Pliya offers a personal and strategic perspective on the forces reshaping the continent’s energy landscape.
Major gas discoveries, emerging LNG developments and the growing importance of energy security are creating unprecedented opportunities for Africa. But possessing resources is not enough. The real challenge is transforming them into sustainable economic and industrial value.
The book examines how natural gas can support industrialisation, electricity generation, local content, skills development and stronger national capabilities. It also explores the strategic choices that determine whether energy resources become a source of lasting prosperity.
At its heart lies a simple conviction: developing resources and benefiting from them are two very different things.
More than a book about energy, The African Energy Moment is about leadership, strategy and Africa’s ability to shape its own economic future.
Africa’s energy moment is not tomorrow. It is now.
