Pape Momar Lô, Chief Executive Officer of Réseau Gazier du Sénégal (RGS SA), is set to participate as a speaker at the prestigious MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power Conference and Exhibition, scheduled for December 9–10, 2025, in Dakar. His involvement highlights Senegal’s rapid emergence as a regional energy powerhouse, driven by its strategic investments in natural gas infrastructure and its ambition to become a key player in West Africa’s energy transition. RGS, the state-owned company responsible for designing, constructing, and operating the national gas transport system, is central to this transformation, positioning Senegal as a reliable and forward-looking energy hub.
Currently, RGS is developing an expansive pipeline network that will span nearly 400 kilometers across five major corridors. These pipelines are engineered to connect offshore gas fields with critical demand centers, including power generation facilities, industrial zones, and urban areas. This infrastructure is expected to catalyze cross-sector collaboration, attract foreign investment, and support Senegal’s broader goals of energy diversification and sustainability. The project reflects a bold vision for national development, one that integrates economic growth with environmental responsibility and regional cooperation.
The MSGBC Conference, named after the Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea-Conakry basin, is a premier platform for dialogue and partnership in the energy sector. With over 1,800 attendees, 250 organizations, and 50 speakers anticipated, the event will showcase transformative projects such as gas pipelines to Europe and green hydrogen initiatives. Pape Momar Lô’s participation signals RGS’s commitment to regional integration and its readiness to engage with global stakeholders on strategic energy issues. His presence also reinforces Senegal’s role as a leader in shaping the future of energy in Africa, where innovation, infrastructure, and policy converge to unlock new possibilities.
As Senegal continues to rise as a gas-driven economy, the MSGBC Conference offers a timely opportunity to align national ambitions with continental and global energy trends. The country’s proactive approach, embodied by RGS and its leadership, reflects a broader momentum toward sustainable development and energy security in the region. Through visionary planning and strategic partnerships, Senegal is charting a path that could redefine the energy landscape of West Africa for decades to come.
