CARACAS, Venezuela, June 23, 2026/APO Group/ –Venezuela Energy Week 2026 will introduce a dedicated Farm-In/Farm-Out Forum, establishing a focused platform for upstream asset transactions and partnership formation as Venezuela continues to reposition itself within the global oil and gas investment landscape.

The forum will be structured around a curated portfolio of assets, with operators, license holders and state entities presenting defined upstream opportunities – ranging from producing fields and brownfield redevelopment projects to undeveloped blocks and offshore gas prospects – to a targeted audience of companies seeking entry, expansion or strategic participation in Venezuela’s energy sector.

The initiative reflects Venezuela’s ongoing recalibration of its upstream strategy, as the country prioritizes production growth and the attraction of technical and financial partners capable of supporting recovery across its oil and gas base. With partnership-led development now central to sector expansion, farm-in and farm-out structures are increasingly being used to unlock value across both mature assets and new developments.

“Venezuela’s upstream sector is increasingly defined by partnership structures rather than standalone development,” said James Chester, CEO of Energy Capital & Power. “This forum reflects that shift by bringing defined assets to market and aligning them with the technical and financial partners needed to advance them.”

The forum is expected to highlight a broad spectrum of asset categories across the country’s key producing regions. In the Orinoco Belt, opportunities will focus on improving recovery from heavy oil fields through enhanced production techniques and technology deployment. In western Venezuela, mature assets present redevelopment potential aimed at near-term output gains. Meanwhile, offshore and eastern gas developments continue to attract interest as Venezuela strengthens its role in regional gas monetization and supply.

Participants will engage directly with asset owners through structured presentations and closed-door discussions centered on deal terms, equity participation, operatorship models and phased development strategies. The format is designed to move beyond general discussion toward transaction-oriented engagement tied to specific assets.

Importantly, the forum reflects broader changes in global upstream investment behavior, where companies are increasingly favoring phased entry strategies and farm-in structures to manage risk while establishing operational presence in new or re-emerging markets. Venezuela’s evolving investment environment – characterized by high resource potential and expanding partnership frameworks – aligns closely with this approach.

Venezuela Energy Week 2026 will take place in Caracas from October 26–29, bringing together government leaders, operators, investors and service companies to advance dialogue and investment across the country’s energy sector.

The VEW 2026 Farm-In/Farm-Out Forum is now open for asset submissions and participation requests from operators, license holders and investors.

• Submit upstream assets for farm-in or farm-out consideration
• Register as an investor or upstream partner
• Engage directly with the VEW upstream team

SURULERE, Lagos, June 23, 2026/APO Group/ –Daystar Power Group (www.Daystar-Power.com) has expanded its energy partnership with Nestlé across West Africa, with solar installations now operational at four manufacturing facilities spanning Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Senegal. The deployments bring the total installed capacity across Nestlé’s sites to 6,884 kWp, nearly 7 megawatts, making it one of the largest commercial and industrial solar partnerships in the region.

 

The four sites, two in Abidjan, one in Tema, and one in Dakar, are all fully operational, with each system designed around the specific grid and operational profile of its location.

Nearly 7 megawatts across four Nestlé facilities is a number we are proud of, but what it represents matters more than the figure itself. It means that one of the world’s most demanding manufacturers has tested our model, trusted it, and come back. Our job now is to keep earning that, across every market where industry needs energy it can count on.

Yischai Beinisch, CEO, Daystar Power Group

From One Site to Four Sites

The partnership began with a single commissioning and expanded to span three countries and four facilities. In Côte d’Ivoire, Daystar Power has delivered 3,447 kWp across two Abidjan sites. In Ghana, a 2,547 kWp system powers Nestlé’s Tema factory. In Senegal, an 890 kWp installation operates at the Dakar facility.

Each system is sized and configured to deliver measurable environmental and social impact, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved energy resilience. The design is tailored to the operational and grid conditions at each location, ensuring reliable clean energy access while supporting local development and aligning with Nestlé’s publicly stated net zero commitments.

This investment reflects our commitment to building a business that not only grows but does so responsibly. By advancing solar energy projects in Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, and Senegal, we are embedding sustainability into our growth, reinforcing our role as a force for good, creating long-term value for communities, and ensuring that our footprint actively contributes to a cleaner, more resilient future.”

Samer Chedid, CEO, Nestlé Central and West Africa Region.

A Footprint That Keeps Growing

Nestlé’s manufacturing presence extends across West Africa, including markets where Daystar Power has its deepest operational roots. With a delivery record now spanning three countries and nearly 7 megawatts of installed capacity, the infrastructure and the relationship are in place to support what comes next.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, June 23, 2026/APO Group/ –Eng. Yasser Ramadan, Chairman of the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority (EMRA) has been appointed as an Advisory Board Member of African Mining Week (AMW) – The Most Influential Mining Conference in Africa – reinforcing the event’s engagement with key regulatory institutions shaping the continent’s mining sector.

 

In his role, Ramadan will provide strategic guidance on core themes and agenda priorities for AMW, ensuring alignment with Egypt’s mining sector vision, including regulatory reform, investment facilitation and value-added mineral development.

His appointment strengthens AMW’s position as a direct engagement platform for global investors seeking exposure to Egypt’s mining industry. It also supports Egypt’s broader national agenda to attract foreign direct investment into key mineral segments including phosphate, gold, copper and industrial minerals, which are central to the country’s industrialization and resource monetization strategy.

Under the theme Mining the Future: Unearthing Africa’s Full Mineral Value Chain, AMW 2026 will convene African regulators, including EMRA, alongside global investors and project developers for partnerships formation aimed at unlocking investment flows across the continent’s mining sector.

AMW 2026 comes at a time when Egypt is accelerating reforms and strategic initiatives across its mining sector. These include enhanced collaboration on mineral value chains, such as the Afreximbank-Central Bank of Egypt initiative to establish the African Gold Bank, aimed at financing gold mining and beneficiation projects. Additionally, Egypt’s Suez Canal Economic Zone-based Futurefert project recently secured $20 million in financing from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to develop fertilizer production facilities, further supporting the country’s phosphate beneficiation ambitions and regional food security objectives.

Meanwhile, regulatory reforms are also underway, including the development of a modern mining cadastre system designed to streamline licensing processes and improve transparency for investors, led by EMRA.

Through his role on the AMW Advisory Board, Ramadan will position Egypt as a key mining investment destination within Africa’s evolving resource landscape.
