The Africa Energy Indaba brings together energy ministers, investors, utilities and developers.
Taking place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), the Africa Energy Indaba is a premier energy platform attracting Africa’s energy ministers, investors, utilities and developers, to explore strategic partnerships and the potential for regional power integration, and to accelerate investment in one of the world’s fastest-growing energy markets.
At the top government level, confirmed attendance to date includes African energy ministers from:

Africa’s energy sector is undergoing unprecedented growth. With the continent expected to see multibillion dollar investment inflows into renewable energy, gas-to-power, grid expansion, and industrial energy projects, ministers are attending the indaba to discuss policy as well as to negotiate investment deals, secure project partnerships, and unlock financing for bankable energy projects. The event provides an opportunity for private sector leaders, investors, and developers to engage directly with decision-makers driving Africa’s energy transformation.
The level of government and institutional participation already confirmed reinforces the Africa Energy Indaba’s position as the continent’s most influential platform for shaping energy policy, investment, and development partnerships.
Considering the business opportunities, now is an ideal time to register your attendance and secure your position at this gathering of decision-makers, investors, and project developers.
