U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry discussed energy issues, including liquefied natural gas supply for electricity generation, with a range of African nations from Nigeria and Ivory Coast to South Africa.
“The United States wants to be partners with South Africa and throughout the continent,” Perry told reporters in Cape Town on Wednesday. “We talked about a lot of opportunities -- LNG, coal, but it all goes to the issue of power and power being able to be delivered into places that don’t take electricity for granted."
