As Africa continues to experience rapid energy demand growth and strives for sustainable power solutions, the challenges and opportunities within the Independent Power Producer (IPP) and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) landscape are becoming increasingly critical. The IPP & PPA Conference, held as part of the Africa Energy Indaba from 4 – 6 March 2025, will provide a vital platform to explore and address these pressing issues.

This highly anticipated conference will bring together leading experts, policymakers, investors, and industry stakeholders to delve into the complexities of IPPs and PPAs in Africa. Participants will engage in robust discussions on project financing, risk allocation, regulatory developments, and innovative models for renewable energy integration.

“Advancing Sustainable Power Partnerships: Unlocking Opportunities for IPPs and PPAs in Africa’s Evolving Energy Market" is the theme for the 2025 edition.  This theme reflects the critical need to address challenges and opportunities in Independent Power Producer (IPP) projects and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) across Africa. It emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and the importance of sustainable, mutually beneficial partnerships to bridge energy gaps, foster investment, and drive energy access and transition across the continent.

"As Africa works towards increasing energy access and transitioning to cleaner energy sources, IPPs and PPAs play a pivotal role in driving progress," said Liz Hart, Managing Director of the Africa Energy Indaba. "This conference is designed to equip stakeholders with the insights and tools they need to navigate the evolving landscape and unlock Africa's energy potential."

Key Topics Include:

• Overcoming barriers to financing and investment for IPP projects.
• Strategies for negotiating and structuring effective PPAs.
• Mitigating risks in energy project development and operation.
• Enhancing regulatory frameworks to attract international and local investment.
• The role of IPPs and PPAs in accelerating Africa’s renewable energy transition.
