South Africa’s commercial and industrial (C&I) energy market is entering a decisive phase. Rising costs, ongoing grid instability, and increasing ESG pressure are forcing organisations to move beyond planning and into implementation.
Visitors can engage with energy, safety, and infrastructure solutions across five co-located shows at RE+ South Africa 2026.
RE+ South Africa 2026, taking place at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg from 2 to 4 June 2026, is designed to support this shift, bringing together decision-makers, technologies, and partnerships that are shaping how businesses generate, procure, and manage energy.
“Energy is no longer a background input in industrial environments,” says Mark Anderson, Portfolio Director at Montgomery Group Africa. “It directly influences cost, risk, and operational performance. RE+ South Africa provides a forum where those pressures translate into real decisions.”
A conference built for implementation, not theory
At the centre of the event is a two-day paid-for conference focused on execution across the C&I sector.
Sessions include:
- Opening keynote: Powering South African industry through distributed generation and private procurement.
- Policy and market frameworks: Understanding wheeling regulations and approval pathways.
- Financing and risk management: Structuring PPAs and funding models.
- ESG integration: Aligning energy investment with reporting requirements.
- Technology deep dives: Solar, storage, and smart energy systems.
- Lifecycle planning: Extending asset value through optimisation.
Where insight connects directly with action
Delegates move from conference sessions directly onto the exhibition floor, where solution providers and technologies are immediately accessible.
- Ideas are tested against real solutions.
- Technologies are compared in context.
- Conversations progress into procurement decisions.
Exhibitors at RE+ South Africa are positioned directly within conversations that are already moving towards implementation. This is where the pipeline becomes a project, and the project becomes a contract.
Dimako Transformers (Hall 4, Stand B04) will showcase its power distribution solutions: flameproof, dry-type and oil-cooled transformers, state-of-the-art switchgear, protection equipment, and our electrical distribution and control panels.
SunRanch Solar (Hall 4, Stand A08) will demonstrate its expertise in fully integrated commercial, industrial, and agricultural solar installations.
One visit. Five shows. A single commercial environment with industry backing
RE+ South Africa runs alongside Securex South Africa, A-OSH EXPO, Facilities Management Expo, and Firexpo.
- Security infrastructure.
- Safety and compliance systems.
- Facilities and asset management.
- Fire protection technologies.
“RE+ South Africa has secured the support of key industry bodies, including SAPVIA and SAESA, ensuring the programme reflects real market needs,” Anderson points out.
A market already in motion
Large energy users are already developing multi-site solar and storage strategies. The shift is operational, not conceptual.
- Buyers arrive with defined requirements.
- Projects are already underway.
- Timelines are tightening.
“As the market accelerates, early positioning becomes critical. RE+ South Africa 2026 brings together the people, insights, and solutions shaping the next phase of energy in South Africa. The opportunity is not just to understand the shift,” Anderson concludes. “It is to be part of it.”
