The organisers of the 2nd edition of the C&I Energy + Storage Summit Johannesburg invite commercial and industrial (C&I) project owners to apply to join its exclusive Hosted Buyer Programme.
This unique initiative offers complimentary access to the Summit, connecting participants with cutting-edge solutions, industry peers and actionable insights to address energy challenges like load-shedding, price volatility and operational demands. Designed for those actively implementing or planning energy and storage projects, the programme is a gateway to transformative opportunities.
The Summit is set to take place on 4 and 5 November at The Maslow Hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Why participate?
Launched in November 2024, the highly successful Hosted Buyer Programme provides direct access to regional solution providers who understand South Africa‘s energy landscape.
“The Summit was an excellent opportunity to learn from and engage with various industry experts. I would highly recommend it to someone who is looking to share ideas, gain knowledge and network,” says 2024 attendee, Du Toit Niemand of Scaw South Africa.
Through the programme, selected hosted buyers will have the opportunity to network with fellow energy users to share real-world experiences, gain clarity on market trends and explore regulatory updates and innovative financing tools. Hosted buyers will also be able to learn from operators who have successfully implemented energy-plus-storage systems, enabling them to build a robust business case for their C&I projects.

Africa Fact: Africans cultivated crops 12,000 years ago, the first known advances in agriculture. Professor Fred Wendorf discovered that people in Egypt’s Western Desert cultivated crops of barley, capers, chick-peas, dates, legumes, lentils and wheat. Their ancient tools were also recovered. There were grindstones, milling stones, cutting blades, hide scrapers, engraving burins, and mortars and pestles.
