The T&D Africa Conference & Expo, taking place 3-5 March 2025 in Cape Town, forms a critical pillar of Africa Energy Indaba Week and is dedicated entirely to advancing Africa’s transmission and distribution infrastructure.

As renewable energy deployment accelerates and regional power markets strengthen, transmission capacity has become the defining enabler of growth. In South Africa alone, the national Transmission Development Plan outlines significant grid expansion over the next decade — creating substantial opportunities for infrastructure investment, technology providers, engineering firms and equipment manufacturers.

The T&D Africa Conference & Expo will bring together utilities, system operators, policymakers, investors, EPC contractors and technology innovators to address:

South Africa’s transmission expansion programme and grid modernisation plans
    

Grid resilience and stability in high-renewable systems
    

Smart grid technologies and digitalisation
    

Energy storage integration
    

Policy, regulation and investment frameworks
    

Regional interconnectivity and cross-border trade
