Palermo Aike is a major, emerging unconventional shale play located in Argentina's southern Santa Cruz province, touted as the "new Vaca Muerta" with an estimated 6.6 to 10 billion barrels of oil equivalent. Spanning over 12,600 , this deep-south formation is undergoing active exploration by YPF and CGC, with initial horizontal drilling completed to test its potential for light crude and gas. 

Key details about the Palermo Aike development include: 

• Geological Profile: Similar to Vaca Muerta, it features marine source rocks with depths between 2,800 and 3,500 meters.
• Location Advantage: It is situated near Río Gallegos and the coast, facilitating infrastructure development and exports.
• Active Development: Following successful fracking of initial exploratory wells in 2023-2024, the partnership is investing in further exploration to confirm commercial viability.
• Technical Challenges: Operations face harsh, cold weather conditions, with firms leveraging experience from similar environments.

Africa needs US$64 Billion in power sector investment every single year.

While other countries may be debating energy transition timelines, Africa faces a different challenge: 600 million people without reliable electricity access and a US$454 billion funding gap through 2030.

This isn’t a policy problem waiting for white papers. It’s a US$454 billion opportunity waiting for execution. At Enlit Africa, US$3 billion in projects have been pitched over the past two years alone.  That’s just the beginning.

Enlit Africa Level 2 isn’t a conference. It’s where Africa’s public and private sector meet the capital, technology and development partners that turn grid constraints into closed deals.
