About us

EnergyPlanets is an independent energy analysis and industry commentary platform focused on developments across the oil and gas, power, and renewable energy sectors, with particular emphasis on Africa and global emerging markets.

The platform provides timely insights into energy markets, industry developments, and the evolving policy, regulatory, and legal frameworks shaping the global energy transition. Our coverage is designed for energy professionals, practitioners, investors, policymakers, and members of the public seeking clear, well-contextualised perspectives on the energy sector.

EnergyPlanets publishes current analysis, expert commentary, and sector updates on key energy themes and information, including:

  • Oil and gas markets, investments, and licensing activity
  • Electricity markets, utilities, and power sector reforms
  • Renewable energy deployment and energy transition trends
  • Energy policy, regulation, and governance
  • Legal, economic, and financial issues impacting the energy industry

While energy systems globally continue to transition, EnergyPlanets focuses on explaining how these shifts affect energy security, access, affordability, and sustainability, particularly in regions facing structural and infrastructural challenges.
