ESI Africa’s Hydropower Africa 2010 Conference, 16 – 20 August 2010, was a niche meeting forum where comprehensive presentations, panel discussions and focused sessions were addressed on the issues surrounding the financing and the implementation of hydropower projects in Africa.

Areas touched on included the bright future for hydropower in Africa, where it is expected that by 2020, hydropower is to account for 79% of East Africa’s total new additional generation capacity.
