APRN Intelligence for October 18th to October 24th
Hey there, Energy People! 👋🏽 Pipelines are often discussed in terms of distance,capacity, and construction costs. But behind every new connection is a bigger question: who gets access to energy, which markets can be reached, and how reliably can supply meet demand? This week, developments across Mozambique, Kenya, and the United States offer three perspectives on that question. Let's dive in!

APRN Intelligence for October 11th to October 17th
Hey there, Energy People! 👋🏽 This week, pipeline infrastructure takes centre stage in four different ways: a safety incident in Nigeria, Saudi Arabia’s plans to strengthen its oil export routes, Senegal’s search for funding to expand its gas network, and Canada’s investment in new transmission capacity. Let’s get into it!
