Africa is embarking on a transformative energy journey, teeming with investment-ready projects that promise to redefine the continent’s future. The Africa Energy Indaba (www.AfricaEnergyIndaba.com), scheduled for 3 – 5 March 2026 in Cape Town, stands as the premier platform for connecting global investors, developers, and policymakers looking to tap into this momentum.

Why Africa? Why Now?

• Massive Investment Potential: Achieving a sustainable energy future will require approximately US $2.9 trillion between 2022 and 2050, with annual energy investment needs rising from US $70 billion in 2022 to US $160 billion by 2050.
• Explosive Growth in Renewables: Installed renewable capacity in Africa surged from 60 GW in 2023 to nearly 67 GW in 2024, with solar and wind capacities expected to grow up to 100× and 35× respectively by 2050.
•  Underused Abundant Resources: Despite holding renewable energy potential of 10 TW solar, 350 GW hydro, 110 GW wind, and 15 GW geothermal, Africa has only scratched the surface—less than 2% of global renewable investment over the past two decades.
• Rapid Solar Expansion: Solar panel imports flew up by 60% year-on-year, reaching 15 GW in the 12 months ending June 2025, signalling growing market dynamism even in regions previously disconnected.
• Urgent Need for Energy Access: Over 600 million Africans still lack access to electricity, and meeting universal access will require an estimated US $64 billion annually.
• Climate Finance Momentum: Climate-related finance in Africa grew to over US $50 billion in 2022, marking a 48% increase in mobilized funds and signalling rising global confidence in African energy markets.
