Several Russian companies will participate, including gas giant Gazprom, oil producer Lukoil, oil and gas equipment manufacturer Uralhimmash, as well as state-owned Sberbank.
"Russia occupies a leading position among the world's largest energy systems in terms of low-carbon electricity generation, which is particularly important for African partners," Russian Presidential Advisor Anton Kobyakov said.
