As the demand for power increases and turbine fleets mature, innovation in asset management is no longer just important but imperative, promoters of the Annual Gas Turbine Asset Management Conference 2025 have said.
The conference which holds from June 23 to 25 in Abuja will spotlight strategies to extend the life of gas turbine (GT) infrastructure, accelerate digital adoption, localise services, and support Africa’s broader energy transition.
With the theme “Unleashing Value: Innovative Asset Strategies for a Resilient African Economy,” the event will unite industry leaders, engineers, energy experts, and policymakers to shape a smarter, more sustainable energy future for Nigeria and Africa at large. “We believe the future of Africa’s power lies not only in building new assets, but in unlocking the full value of the ones we already have. This conference is our collective call to action to upgrade, innovate, and to empower a continent ready to lead,” said Dr. Daere Akobo, Chairman, PANA Holdings.
Peter Stuttaford, Chief Executive Officer, Thomassen Energy, said: “Asset management is no longer a back-office function; it is the frontline of Africa’s energy transformation. Together with our partners, PE Energy, we are here to drive solutions that extend turbine life, localize expertise, and power a future that is both sustainable and self-reliant.”
Leadership sessions will explore how gas turbines are redefining the power landscape in Nigeria and across Africa. There will also be a hands-on technical training for engineers, operators, and GT professionals to equip them with practical skills in maintenance, technology upgrades, and future-ready operations through interactive sessions designed to close the knowledge gap.
