Uniting Africa’s energy ecosystem

From 16-18 May 2023 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) Enlit Africa 2023 will return as a forum for Africa’s energy community to meet and inspire each other.

The conference will feature an unrivalled exhibition, showcasing the latest technology and services on offer in the sector under the theme ‘The multi-dimensional, multi-sectoral energy transition’. Around 368 exhibitors, across digital and live, are expected to present their solutions to a combined audience of around 200,000. In doing so, they will be able to meet local partners, build brand awareness, generate leads and generally expand their footprint on the continent.

At the conference, keynotes will be delivering their expertise alongside various content presented in speaking hubs on the expo floor. Conference delegates will also be able to enjoy the networking and site visits that the event has popularised for over two decades.

In 2022, Enlit Africa focused on

Africa’ just energy transition and this year, the lens adjusts to Just Energy Transition Investment and South Africa’s Just Energy Transition Investment Plan. In doing so, speakers and attendees will investigate where will the green financing will come from and what are the capacity requirements to make South Africa’s plan a reality.

Understanding the plan gives context to the multi-sectoral elements that make up the overall roadmap to a low-carbon future.

“We are excited to explore the various elements of Just Energy Transition investments, not only in South Africa, but across the continent as a whole. Understand where the money is coming from, and how it will be invested will give us a clear picture of the challenges and opportunities the transition will bring. Because each country’s transition will be unique, this is an opportunity to be innovative in the way we plan Africa’s future,” said Claire Volkwyn, head of content for Enlit Africa.

The event will also explore Africa’s energy transition ambitions which are currently being tested in the face of a global recession, rising poverty, unemployment and falling utility revenue. It will also delve into renewables and the new landscape facing IPPs, shining a light on regional energy developments.

Volkwyn added, “We look forward to welcoming the industry back to Cape Town for our first event with no Covid-19 restrictions. We had a wonderful event in 2022 despite the restrictions under which we operated and know that 2023 will exceed expectations.”

Enlit Africa includes a live event, exhibitions, roundtables, co-located events and exclusive one-on-one interviews with leaders in the energy sector. In addition, there will be product launches, innovative technology showcases, and more.
