Energy leaders, sovereign wealth funds and mining executives will gather at the Africa Energy Forum to discuss transmission, renewable energy and critical minerals infrastructure.
Africa’s push toward industrial scale energy infrastructure will take centre stage next month as the Africa Energy Forum 2026 returns to Cape Town from 16 to 19 June.
The annual gathering is expected to bring together major energy companies, investors, development finance institutions, sovereign wealth funds and governments focused on accelerating the continent’s energy transition and industrial growth.
This year’s forum comes at a time when African economies are increasingly shifting their focus from basic energy access toward large scale infrastructure capable of supporting manufacturing, mining, trade corridors and heavy industry.
Projects under discussion include transmission infrastructure, renewable energy developments, mining logistics corridors and baseload power generation.
