The 18th edition of the
Africa Energy Indaba will take place from 3–5 March 2026 at the Cape Town International
Convention Centre (CTICC), bringing together Africa’s most influential energy decision-makers to focus on
implementation, infrastructure alignment and investment mobilisation.
Now in its 18th year, the
Africa Energy Indaba has evolved into a strategic platform where government, utilities,
regulators, investors, project developers and industry leaders engage in outcome-driven dialogue to accelerate
Africa’s energy security and transition agenda.
Africa’s energy sector represents one of the most significant growth opportunities globally. With rapidly expanding
populations, increasing urbanisation, industrialisation ambitions and abundant natural resources — including gas,
renewables, critical minerals and emerging green hydrogen potential — the continent is positioned for substantial
energy infrastructure expansion. Power demand is projected to rise significantly over the coming decades,
requiring large-scale investment across generation, transmission, storage and regional interconnectivity. The
opportunity lies not only in closing the energy access gap, but in building modern, resilient energy systems that
underpin economic growth and industrial competitiveness.
At a time when infrastructure gaps remain a key constraint to economic expansion, the 2026 programme will
focus on:
Strengthening regional power markets and cross-border trade
Unlocking gas-to-power and domestic gas market development
Accelerating transmission and grid expansion
Mobilising blended finance and private sector capital
Advancing regulatory certainty and investment readiness
Unlike broad sector exhibitions, the Africa Energy Indaba is structured around curated high-level forums, ministerial
engagements and targeted investment discussions designed to facilitate collaboration and tangible progress.
The programme will feature ministerial participation, regulatory authorities, power pool representatives,
development finance institutions and private sector executives from across the energy value chain — spanning
power, gas, infrastructure and emerging technologies.
With energy security, affordability and economic growth at the forefront of Africa’s priorities, the 2026 Africa Energy Indaba will provide a focused environment for dialogue that moves beyond rhetoric toward practical implementation.
