Cape Town, South Africa – 12 May 2026 — The Africa Energy Indaba 2026 set a new benchmark for the continent’s energy dialogue, headlined by a powerful keynote address from South African President H.E. Cyril Ramaphosa and attended by over 8,000 industry leaders, policymakers, investors, and energy stakeholders from across Africa and the globe.
Building on this landmark success, the 19th edition of the Africa Energy Indaba returns to the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) from 2–4 March 2027, promising to drive investment, strengthen partnerships, and accelerate actionable solutions for Africa’s energy future. Africa holds the world’s greatest untapped energy potential. With rapid demand growth, abundant natural resources — including solar, wind, hydropower, gas, and critical minerals — and expanding investment pipelines, the continent stands at the cusp of a transformative era. The Africa Energy Indaba 2027 will serve as the premier platform where these elements converge to power economic growth, industrialisation, and sustainable development across the region.
“Following the resounding success of the 2026 edition, which highlighted the urgency of energy security, regional cooperation, and infrastructure development, we are elevating the conversation even further,” said the organisers. “The 2027 Indaba will move from high-level dialogue to tangible outcomes — deal-making, project announcements, technology showcases, and policy alignment that deliver real impact on the ground.”
The event will feature a world-class conference programme, a dynamic exhibition showcasing cutting-edge energy solutions, and high-level side events. Delegates can expect in-depth discussions on power generation, renewable energy integration, grid modernisation, energy access, just transition strategies, and innovative financing models tailored to African realities.
For exhibitors and sponsors, participation in Africa Energy Indaba 2027 offers unmatched exposure to senior decision-makers. Attendees include ministers, utility executives, independent power producers (IPPs), investors, developers, regulators, and industry leaders actively seeking partnerships and solutions. Sponsors and exhibitors gain strengthened brand credibility, direct access to high-value deal flow, and the opportunity to position themselves at the forefront of Africa’s evolving energy landscape.
With more than 600 million Africans still lacking reliable electricity, the Indaba underscores the critical role of energy in unlocking prosperity. It facilitates cross-border collaboration, supports the scaling of renewable and conventional energy projects, and addresses the intersection of energy with industrialisation, climate goals, and community development.
The fully immersive, in-person experience at the CTICC ensures meaningful networking and knowledge exchange without parallel. Bookings for conference delegates, exhibition space, and partnership opportunities are now open. Africa’s energy revolution is underway.
The Africa Energy Indaba 2027 is where strategy meets execution — where ideas become investments and potential becomes power.
Be part of Africa’s energy future.
