Andrew Inglis, Chairman and CEO of Kosmos Energy, has continued to advocate for increased investment in African oil and gas development, emphasizing the role of fossil fuels in addressing energy poverty. At the US-Africa Investment Summit during Africa Energy Week in October 2025, he discussed how international companies remain engaged in Africa's energy future, drawing on Kosmos' experience in Ghana where the Jubilee field progressed from license award to production in seven years. He noted that project timelines have lengthened, citing an IEA report indicating the period from license signing to first production has extended to 20 years, and called for leadership to debottleneck regulatory processes. Inglis has also spoken about the importance of gas resources for Africa's development. At African Energy Week 2024, he stated that Africa has the right to become a gas powerhouse and should use its gas domestically to create affordable power, while criticizing Western leaders who advocate for renewables in Africa, describing their position as having "gone up the up escalator of hydrocarbon resource development, got to the top, switched the escalator off and said to Africa now you come up the stairs." He has highlighted that 600 million people in Africa lack access to power and 900 million lack access to clean cooking fuels. In earlier appearances, including at the 2018 signing ceremony for the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project, he praised the cross-border cooperation between Mauritania and Senegal and the role of presidential leadership in advancing the project.
