EVENT PROGRAMME HOSTED BY THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN AND ORGANISED BY WESGRO Dear Colleagues of the World Energy Cities Partnership It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the City of Cape Town, to welcome the members of the World Energy Cities Partnership (WECP) to the WECP Annual General Meeting in our beautiful city. I extend a special welcome to the visiting Mayors, Deputy Mayors and delegation leaders. The WECP, with a proud history dating back more than twenty years, brings together on an annual basis some of the greatest energy cities to share their experiences in the development of energy sectors. As the newest member city of WECP, Cape Town is both excited to learn from its fellow members and to share information about opportunities in energy sector development in our city region. Notwithstanding the current oil price volatility, the Western Cape Provincial Government is driving an ambitious programme of investment into the oil and gas sectors under the auspices of Project Khulisa. At the same time our national government under Operation Phakisa is seeking to unlock the potential of the marine economy, including in offshore oil and gas. Within Cape Town our advanced services sectors, including legal, financial, and engineering sectors, are providing expert assistance to energy companies both in the region and in the rest of the African continent. This year’s AGM will also provide a significant focus on renewable energy. Cape Town is leading the development of this sector in South Africa. It is an important contributor to the growth of the green economy, and in building resilience and combatting climate change. Along with our event partners, including Wesgro, the Office of the Western Cape Minister of Economic Opportunities, the South African Oil and Gas Alliance, GreenCape and the Saldanha Bay IDZ, we hope that you will find the conference content and related experiences engaging, inspiring and memorable.
