Africas energy sector is projected to grow significantly with renewable energy investments leading the way. By 2040, energy demand in sub-Saharan Africa alone is expected to more than double driven by rising populations, economic growth and urbanisation.
Renewable energy projects across the continent such as solar, wind and hydro have attracted increasing interest yet additional investment is needed to fully unlock Africas renewable potential estimated to be among the highest globally. By tapping into this emerging market, investors have the opportunity to be part of transformative projects that deliver financial returns and essential services to millions of people.
Demand for reliable, affordable and sustainable energy solutions to power Africas development goals can be met through investment opportunities in the continents energy sector. The 2025 Africa Energy Indaba at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on March 4-6 will present a platform for these opportunities.
To enable this process, a key feature of the Africa Energy Indaba will be the dedicated Projects Dealroom designed to facilitate investor access to project development opportunities across the continent. It will offer an exclusive setting for investors, project developers and financiers to engage in targeted discussions, review investment-ready projects and explore strategic partnerships. It will do this through a curated selection of initiatives covering renewable energy, infrastructure upgrades and electrification.
The conference will highlight the latest advancements in renewable energy such as solar, wind and hydro-electric projects as well as pivotal developments in grid modernisation and electrification. These initiatives are designed to support Africas growth yet they require significant investment to succeed. Strategic financial commitments are vital to expand energy access, introduce cleaner energy solutions and build resilient infrastructure capable of supporting Africas industrial and social development.
Registration for the Africa Energy Indaba can be done here as the first step towards transformative investment in Africas energy sector.
