Key Highlights of the 2025 Edition

This year’s Africa Energy Indaba introduces two groundbreaking events designed to enhance the scope and impact of the conference:

1. The T&D Africa Conference and Expo Transmission and distribution (T&D) are critical components of a functional energy system, yet they remain a significant bottleneck in many African countries. The new T&D Africa Conference and Expo will spotlight these challenges, bringing together experts and innovators to:

Discuss modernising and expanding Africa’s transmission and distribution networks.

Explore advancements in smart grid technologies and energy storage solutions.

Address regulatory and financing hurdles in the T&D sector.

This dedicated platform underscores the importance of robust energy infrastructure to support the continent’s growing demand and transition to cleaner energy sources.

2. The Energy Projects Dealroom Recognising the need to bridge the gap between project developers and financiers, the Energy Projects Dealroom is an exclusive feature of the Indaba. It will:

Facilitate direct engagement between energy project developers and potential investors.
