African Energy Week to return to Cape Town in September next year

The 2025 edition of the African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies will return to Cape Town in South Africa, where it was also held this year.

The event will be held in partnership with the government of South Africa, S&P Global Commodity Insights and Afreximbank. It is Africa’s largest energy sector gathering, and will take place from September 29 to October 3 at the Cape Town International Convention Center 2.

With over 125 million barrels of proven oil reserves, 620 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and abundant renewable resources, Africa holds the potential to become a global energy leader. With African energy demand expected to more than double by 2050 and fossil fuels projected to comprise up to 60% of the energy mix by 2040, AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 aims to eradicate energy poverty by 2030 through an influx of investment and innovation across the continent.

AEW was established with the mission to make energy poverty history by 2030. As a central pillar of Africa’s energy sector, the conference offers an unparalleled platform to forge partnerships, share knowledge and drive progress.

The gathering will bring together industry visionaries, African governments, national oil companies and key stakeholders across the energy value chain to tackle the complexities and seize the opportunities within Africa’s thriving energy landscape.

It will also feature workshops, discussions and presentations covering critical topics such as investment in upstream development, legislative and regulatory policies, infrastructure growth strategies, the downstream sector and Africa’s role in the global energy transition.

With just one year to go, AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 aims to build on the momentum of the 2024 edition. The five-day agenda featured seven premium stages, five content stages, two technical hubs and a pre-event workshop day.

“Having grown into one of the continent’s largest energy events, we look forward to welcoming everyone back in 2025, with next year’s edition promising to surpass all prior events. We are thrilled to bring together delegates from around the world to address Africa’s pressing energy needs.”

Entering its fifth year, AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 seeks to position itself as a preferred platform for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government leaders.
