The South African National Petroleum Company (SANPC) will take its investor roadshow to the Invest in African Energy (IAE) Forum in Paris in May, presenting its strategic vision and more than R95 billion in untapped oil and gas investment opportunities.
The state-owned energy entity, officially launching in April 2025, is expected to play a pivotal role in South Africa’s energy security and transition.
Led by chief executive Godfrey Moagi, SANPC’s presentation at IAE 2025 will focus on its agenda under the theme, “South Africa’s Energy Future: A New Age State Entity.”
With a mandate to drive energy independence and diversification, SANPC aims to secure major investments in oil, gas and clean energy.
The company’s strategy includes revitalising dormant energy assets, integrating viable assets into the national oil company and ensuring efficient utilisation of resources.
Delegates at IAE 2025 will gain insight into SANPC’s long-term objectives, including the creation of a state-backed energy company that will enhance the country’s energy security, facilitate the transition to cleaner energy sources and create employment opportunities for the nation’s youth.
SANPC’s vision aligns with South Africa’s National Development Plan, which prioritises affordable, reliable energy access while advancing sustainability goals.
The Paris roadshow is part of a broader investor engagement series, which debuted at the African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies 2024 conference in Cape Town.
These initiatives aim to attract foreign investment and foster partnerships that will drive large-scale infrastructure projects and economic growth.
As South Africa’s energy sector undergoes reform, SANPC is positioning itself as a catalyst for new ventures and regional integration in oil and gas, while adhering to strict sustainability standards.
