PRODUCT SECTORS
Explore the technologies shaping Africa’s energy future
Discover the four sectors at Africa Energy 2027, bringing together the technologies and solutions powering generation, transmission and distribution, efficiency and storage.
Discover the four sectors
Africa Energy 2027 brings together technologies and solutions spanning the complete energy journey, from generating power and delivering it through reliable networks to optimising consumption and storing energy for when it is needed.
Explore the four sectors to discover where your business fits and the solutions you can find at the event.
Where the journey of energy begins.
Generation
This sector covers the technologies that produce power at every scale; from conventional and critical/back-up power to the generation equipment driving the region's giga-scale build-out. It's the starting point of the value chain, and where reliability and capacity are decided before power ever reaches the grid.
Getting power to where it's needed.
Transmission & Distribution
This sector covers the infrastructure that moves electricity from source to substation to site; grid equipment, switchgear, cables, and the digital tools that keep networks stable as demand grows and the generation mix diversifies. As the region's grids modernise at pace, this is where resilience is built in.
Making every unit of power count.
Efficiency
This sector brings together energy management, building automation, smart metering, lighting, HVAC and industrial efficiency solutions that reduce consumption and lower operating costs at the point of use; turning power generated and delivered into power well spent.
Making power available on demand.
Storage
This sector brings together battery technologies and energy storage systems that balance supply and demand, stabilise networks, and let more renewable generation reach the grid without compromising reliability. As the region's grid-scale storage investment accelerates, this is where flexibility gets engineered in.
From generation to storage, see the bigger picture
The energy system depends on more than any single technology. Generation, grid infrastructure, efficient consumption and storage all play a role in how electricity is produced, delivered and used.
Africa Energy 2027 brings these connected areas into focus, creating a platform to explore solutions across the wider energy value chain.
Generate
Produce energy through conventional and renewable sources.
