Energy Week 2025 – Africa’s Power‑Forward Event

When you hear Energy Week 2025, the annual summit that brings together African energy leaders, investors and innovators to showcase the continent’s power transition. Also known as EW 2025, it serves as a barometer for regional policy shifts, market trends and technological breakthroughs. The event spans three days of panel talks, product demos and networking, all aimed at accelerating the shift from fossil fuels to clean power across the continent.

One of the core pillars of the week is renewable energy, solar, wind, hydro and emerging geothermal projects that are reshaping Africa’s electricity mix. With more than 30 gigawatts of new solar capacity slated for 2025, countries like Kenya and South Africa are betting on cost‑competitive solar farms to meet growing demand. The renewable agenda also includes ambitious wind farms off the coasts of Morocco and Egypt, which together could power millions of homes by 2027.

Parallel to clean power, the summit highlights the fast‑growing electric vehicles, the shift to battery‑powered transport that reduces emissions and demands new charging infrastructure. A flagship showcase is the Eskom‑BYD partnership, rolling out a fleet of 20 EVs and ten fast‑charging stations across South Africa. The EV segment is expected to double its market share in the next two years, driven by lower battery costs and supportive government incentives.

Underlying both renewables and EVs is the need for grid modernization, upgrading transmission networks, installing smart meters and integrating storage to handle variable renewable output. Investment pipelines this year total over $12 billion, with projects ranging from high‑voltage lines in the Sahel to battery‑storage hubs in Nigeria. Modern grids enable real‑time balancing, reduce outages and create a platform for future technologies like hydrogen blending.

Throughout Energy Week 2025 you’ll see how policy, finance and technology intersect to push Africa toward a low‑carbon future. Below, the curated collection of articles breaks down the latest announcements, project launches and market analyses that emerged from the event, giving you a front‑row seat to the continent’s energy transformation.
