“My love and commitment to Africa played a major role on the decision to launch the African Power Platform,” said Jorge Lascas, Founder and Managing Director of the APP.
The APP states “it is imperative to create one platform where Independent power producers, developers, financiers, consultants, and other like-minded individuals, can share ideas and possible solutions concerning the lack of electricity in Africa.”
To further assist in the continent’s social and economic growth, APP members have the ability to stay up-to-date on current events concerning the power sector by signing up for newsletters and press releases.
It is through this social and economic development, as well as the financial assistance of members, that the APP hopes to contribute to Africa's electrification. “Power is critical for every single country in Africa and we are here to support all of them equally,” stated Lascas.
“We will be in soft launching until the end of 2018 and expect to gather 50 members during this period. It will allow us to fine tune and optimize our strategy. In 2019 we expect to go full power and register 100 members.” concluded Lascas.
