Commodity trading company Trafigura will participate as a Silver Sponsor at African Energy Week (AEW) 2026, taking place on October 12–16 in Cape Town. Its participation underscores the expanding role of international commodity traders in Africa's energy sector – not only as buyers of resources, but increasingly as providers of financing, logistics, market access and commercial expertise that strengthen energy security and unlock investment.

In April 2026, Trafigura signed a $1 billion oil prepayment agreement with Gabon, providing upfront financing to support the country's upstream expansion strategy. The financing is expected to help sustain national oil production above 220,000 barrels per day while supporting plans to triple refining capacity by 2030.

Beyond upstream financing, Trafigura is expanding its presence across Africa's downstream energy sector to strengthen regional refining capacity and fuel security. The company is among the bidders for a minority stake in South Africa's Natref Refinery. Through its subsidiary Puma Energy, Trafigura also operates fuel storage, distribution and retail infrastructure across Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, Ghana and Mozambique, strengthening regional fuel security and the reliable distribution of petroleum products.

The company is also strengthening Africa's position within global energy transition supply chains. In May 2026, Trafigura signed an agreement with the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Entreprise Générale du Cobalt and EVelution Energy to establish a long-term supply chain for Congolese cobalt to the U.S., supporting battery manufacturing and clean energy industries. The company also serves as an offtaker for copper produced by Ivanhoe Mines' Kamoa-Kakula complex, supporting mineral exports through the Lobito Corridor – a strategic transport route linking Central African mineral production to international markets.

Trafigura's energy transition portfolio extends beyond critical minerals. Through the Miombo Restoration Alliance, the company is supporting a $1 billion carbon removal and ecosystem restoration initiative spanning Mozambique, Zambia, Tanzania and Malawi. The program aims to restore approximately 675,000 hectares of woodland while generating high-quality carbon credits. In Angola, Trafigura has also partnered with engineering firm ProMarks to support the development of up to 2 GW of renewable energy capacity, contributing to the country's long-term energy diversification strategy.

"Trafigura has demonstrated how commodity traders can serve as strategic partners in Africa's energy development – not only by connecting producers to global markets, but by providing the financing, logistics and commercial expertise needed to unlock new projects and strengthen regional energy security," said NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber. "As African countries pursue industrialization and greater value addition, partners that can mobilize capital, strengthen supply chains and expand market access will become increasingly important."

At AEW 2026, Trafigura executives are expected to participate in discussions on commodity financing, energy security, supply chain resilience and the evolving role of trading houses in Africa's industrialization agenda. The conference will provide policymakers, investors and industry leaders with an opportunity to engage directly with one of the commercial partners helping transform Africa's energy resources into long-term economic growth.

• Around 2,000 children will benefit each year through schools and Early Childhood Development Centres in Gauteng, Cape Town and Durban
• Four-year long initiative will provide approximately 400,000 nutritious breakfasts annually in underprivileged communities
• Partnership leverages the power of sport and community to help address childhood nutrition and create a more supportive environment for education

Emirates (www.Emirates.com), European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR), and the Kolisi Foundation have launched the Emirates Nourishment Programme, a long-term initiative designed to ensure that thousands of children start every school day with a nutritious breakfast, giving them a stronger foundation to learn, develop and thrive.

Across South Africa, an estimated 15 to 16 million people experience food insecurity, with children often bearing the greatest burden. Breakfast is frequently the first meal sacrificed, yet it is one of the most important for a child's ability to concentrate, participate in class and engage in learning throughout the day. The Emirates Nourishment Programme aims to address this by providing approximately 400,000 nutritious breakfasts every year—around 1.6 million breakfasts over the initial four-year partnership—ensuring around 2,000 learners each year have the opportunity to begin every school day nourished and ready to learn.

The initiative, which will run until 2030, combines nutritional support with the inspirational power of rugby, creating opportunities for children not only to receive consistent access to breakfast, but also to engage with role models who demonstrate resilience, teamwork and leadership.

The Kolisi Foundation (http://KolisiFoundation.org/) believes that lasting change requires addressing inequality in all its interconnected forms. Through programmes focused on food security, education, gender-based violence prevention and sport, the Foundation works alongside communities and strategic partners to remove barriers that prevent young people from reaching their full potential.

Commenting on the launch of the Emirates Nourishment Programme, founder of the Foundation, Siya Kolisi said “No child should have to choose between learning and hunger. I know from my own journey how much opportunity can change a life, but it's difficult to dream, concentrate or believe in yourself when you're hungry. That's why this programme matters. A nutritious breakfast may seem like a simple thing, but for a child it can mean arriving at school ready to learn, to grow and to believe in what's possible."

The Foundation's Managing Director Mahlatse Mashua, added, "Good nutrition is one of the most powerful investments we can make in a child's future. A breakfast served consistently over an entire school year doesn't simply satisfy hunger—it improves attendance, supports cognitive development, enables children to participate more fully in the classroom and creates better conditions for learning. Those seemingly ordinary mornings accumulate into extraordinary opportunities over time.

"We are grateful to Emirates and EPCR for their commitment to this shared vision. Together, we are helping create an environment where children can focus on being children, learning, growing and building brighter futures for themselves, their families and their communities."

Jacques Raynaud, CEO of EPCR, said "Rugby has a unique ability to unite people, inspire communities and create meaningful change beyond the field of play. Through our impACT strategy, EPCR is committed to harnessing that power and working with partners who share our ambition to leave a positive legacy.

"The Emirates Nourishment Programme is a perfect example of what can be achieved when organisations come together around a shared purpose. Together with Emirates and the Kolisi Foundation, we will be supporting thousands of children across South Africa with the nutrition they need to learn, develop and thrive. We are incredibly proud to launch this programme and excited about the impact it will create over the years ahead."

Afzal Parambil, Emirates' Regional Manager for South Africa said, “At Emirates, we have a legacy connecting communities through our sponsorship portfolio, using sport as a platform for social inclusion and youth development. Through this partnership with EPCR and the Kolisi Foundation, we hope to remove one of the barriers that can stand in the way of learning and opportunity, helping young people reach their full potential, and deliver a positive impact that extends far beyond the classroom.”

By combining consistent nutritional support with the unifying power of rugby, the Emirates Nourishment Programme represents a long-term investment in South Africa's children. Together, Emirates, EPCR and the Kolisi Foundation are helping ensure that thousands of young people begin every school day nourished, ready to learn and better equipped to realise their potential.

As mining sector cooperation between Africa and the Middle East strengthens - driven by Africa's demand for capital and the Gulf's pursuit of secure mineral supply chains - African Mining Week (AMW) 2026 will provide a strategic platform connecting African mining jurisdictions with Middle Eastern investors.

Taking place from October 14 – 16, 2026 in Cape Town, AMW – The Most Influential Mining Conference in Africa - will feature a dedicated Middle East-Africa Roundtable, highlighting investment trends and long-term collaboration prospects for Gulf stakeholders across Africa's mining value chain.

As global demand for critical minerals expands - driven by the energy transition, AI infrastructure deployment and defense applications – the Middle East is strengthening its supply chain through investments in Africa – home to 30% of the world's reserves.

For Gulf economies seeking to diversify revenue generation from hydrocarbons, Africa's $8.5 trillion worth of untapped mineral deposits are becoming central to industrial diversification strategies. Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 – under which the Kingdom has pledged to invest $10 billion in African mining projects – alongside the UAE's broader industrial transformation agenda, is driving increased acquisition of upstream mineral assets abroad, particularly across Africa's critical minerals sector.

The shift is already translating into rising capital flows for Africa. Gulf states accounted for approximately 22% of greenfield foreign direct investment into Africa in 2025, highlighting the region's growing role as a strategic investment partner for the continent. Sovereign wealth fund Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADQ), for instance, is supporting critical mineral investments across emerging markets through a $1.8 billion joint venture with Orion Resource Partners and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation. Separately, ADQ has also announced plans to invest $500 million into Kenya's mining sector.

Meanwhile, the UAE's International Resources Holding (IRH)'s $1 billion investment in Zambia's Mopani Copper Mine is supporting operational restoration efforts aimed at increasing production to 200,000 tons over the next three years. Mopani is already playing a crucial role in supporting a national target to increase copper output to three million tons by 2031, emerging as a key contributor to the 8% increase in output recorded in 2025.

In South Africa, IRH's agreement with the Public Investment Corporation to explore co-investment opportunities could unlock fresh capital at a time the country seeks to mobilize R2 trillion to unlock its critical mineral sector growth over the next three years.

Africa's electricity demand is projected to nearly double to 2,291 TWh by 2050, requiring an estimated $30 billion in transmission and grid infrastructure investment to unlock and integrate new generation capacity. Yet across the continent, grid systems are struggling to keep pace with rapidly expanding supply pipelines and rising demand.

In Nigeria, repeated nationwide grid collapses as recently as February 2026 underscore the fragility of aging transmission infrastructure. In East Africa, tower failures along the 428 km Loiyangalani-Suswa line temporarily stranded output from Lake Turkana Wind Power – Africa's largest wind installation. Meanwhile, demand growth pressures are accelerating across North Africa, where electricity consumption is expected to rise by around 50% by 2035, driven by urbanization, desalination projects, and climate-related temperature increases.

Despite these constraints, generation investment continues to accelerate across Africa, particularly in renewables, gas-to-power and hybrid systems. However, without equivalent investment in transmission and interconnection, much of this new capacity risks being underutilized or stranded. This growing imbalance between generation and grid capacity is driving a sharper focus on system-wide planning and regional market design – issues that will be central to the newly launched Power Africa Today conference at African Energy Week 2026. The platform will bring together policymakers, utilities, investors and developers to explore how regional interconnection, cross-border trading frameworks and financing structures can better align generation growth with grid expansion.

Power Markets Experiment with Reform

Alongside infrastructure challenges, Africa's electricity sector is undergoing gradual – but uneven – market reform. Most countries still operate vertically integrated systems dominated by state utilities, but a growing number are introducing competitive frameworks to attract private capital and improve efficiency.

Zimbabwe opened its electricity market to full private participation across generation, transmission and distribution in 2025, targeting $9 billion in new investment. South Africa is advancing one of the continent's most ambitious grid expansion programs, with plans for 14,500 km of new transmission lines and 133,000 MVA of transformer capacity by 2034, alongside mechanisms designed to crowd in private financing. Kenya, meanwhile, has introduced open access regulations enabling independent power producers to wheel electricity directly to multiple off-takers, reshaping how generation assets interface with the grid.

Regional Integration Remains Fragmented

Efforts to connect Africa's fragmented power systems are progressing, though at different speeds across regions. In Southern Africa, the World Bank's RETRADE SAPP program, approved in 2025, is deploying $12 million to strengthen renewable integration and transmission capacity across 12 member states. In East Africa, the Ethiopia–Kenya–Tanzania Electricity Highway is now in trial operations at up to 2,000 MW, marking a significant step toward a more interconnected regional grid.

West Africa is also moving toward deeper integration, with permanent synchronization of the West Africa Power Pool expected in 2026. Analysts, including the African Finance Corporation, argue that such synchronization is critical to unlocking large-scale hydropower potential and industrial demand across the region. Longer term, full synchronization between the Eastern and Southern African power pools – targeted for the end of 2026 – could create one of the world's largest cross-border electricity trading corridors.

Building Bankable Financial Architectures

While interconnection is advancing, infrastructure alone is not enough to create investable electricity markets. Investors consistently cite the lack of standardized offtake structures, creditworthy counterparties, and cross-border payment guarantees as key barriers to scaling capital deployment.

New models are emerging to address these constraints. Africa GreenCo, operating across Zambia, Namibia and South Africa, is helping to aggregate independent power producers under a single creditworthy intermediary, standardizing power purchase agreements and reducing counterparty risk. At a broader level, AUDA-NEPAD estimates that Africa requires around $30 billion in additional investment to complete priority transmission corridors and establish three fully interconnected regional trading blocs by 2030.

“Interconnected electricity markets are the foundation of Africa's industrial future,” said NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber. “The question at Africa Energy Week is not whether integration is possible – the evidence is already there. The question is which regulatory frameworks and financial structures will get projects to financial close, and which markets will be ready when capital is looking to move.”

The Power Africa Today conference will run alongside AEW 2026, taking place October 12–16 in Cape Town, and will focus on the regulatory, financial and infrastructural architecture needed to build interconnected electricity markets capable of attracting institutional capital and delivering reliable, cross-border power at scale.

More than 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa still lack access to electricity, underscoring a stark reality: no single energy source will close the continent's power gap. Instead, African governments are increasingly pursuing a multi-resource energy strategy – leveraging natural gas, renewables, hydropower and existing thermal assets – to expand access, improve grid reliability, and advance the goal of ending energy poverty by 2030.

These priorities will take center stage at African Energy Week (AEW) 2026 through the newly launched Power Africa Today conference. The platform will convene utility executives, policymakers, investors, developers and technology providers to examine how generation expansion, transmission build-out, financing innovation and regional market integration can accelerate electrification and industrial growth across Africa. While discussions will reflect a wide range of ongoing developments across the continent – including renewable energy expansion, gas-to-power projects, grid modernization and cross-border trade – the focus will be on how these efforts can be better aligned into bankable, system-wide solutions that close the energy access gap.

Natural gas continues to play a central role in Africa's power mix as a flexible, dispatchable fuel that supports industrial growth and complements intermittent renewable generation. At the same time, governments are scaling up utility-scale solar and wind projects alongside decentralized mini-grids and off-grid systems aimed at extending access to remote communities. Emerging technologies such as green hydrogen are also beginning to gain traction, supported by early-stage financing and policy frameworks, including the African Development Bank's $20 million funding call to de-risk pilot projects.

Alongside generation expansion, power sector reform and infrastructure development are gaining momentum. South Africa's wholesale electricity market reforms and long-term transmission expansion plans are opening the door to greater private sector participation, while Uganda's Amari Power Transmission Project – Africa's first privately financed independent transmission project to reach financial close – signals growing investor appetite for grid infrastructure.

Regional integration is also accelerating, with power pools advancing cross-border electricity trade through harmonized regulatory frameworks. At the same time, large-scale access initiatives such as Mission 300, led by the World Bank and AfDB, are helping to scale electrification efforts, having already connected more than 50 million people across the continent.

“Africa's pathway to ending energy poverty will require every available resource working together. Natural gas, renewables, hydropower and existing power assets including coal and oil each have a role to play in delivering reliable electricity, supporting industrialization and improving quality of life across the continent,” says NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman, African Energy Chamber.

The Power Africa Today conference at AEW 2026 will provide a dedicated platform to translate these investments, reforms and partnerships into bankable projects – accelerating energy access and supporting sustainable economic growth across the continent.

Africa's energy future will be shaped not only by the resources beneath the ground, but by the ability of its workforce to interpret, manage and act on increasingly complex datasets. As exploration targets become more technically challenging and investors demand greater certainty, energy companies across the continent are turning to artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and digital platforms to improve decision-making. Building a data-first workforce capable of leveraging these technologies is emerging as a strategic priority, enabling operators to reduce exploration risk, optimize production and accelerate project development.

As digital innovation becomes increasingly critical to streamlining operations across exploration and production, this year's African Energy Week (AEW) 2026 – taking place in Cape Town from October 12–16 – is set to highlight how these shifts impact regional competitiveness. These industry-wide advancements are set to take center stage during Renegade Intel, the event's premier track dedicated to AI and data centers.

For Africa's exploration sector, digitalization is becoming a prerequisite for success. As operators pursue frontier acreage, deeper reservoirs and more complex geological plays, the ability to process and interpret large volumes of seismic, subsurface and operational data is critical. However, technology alone is not enough. Scaling exploration activity will require a workforce equipped with advanced digital skills, capable of applying AI-driven insights to geological modeling, prospect evaluation and resource development.

In the exploration sector, the BHP Xplore Bootcamp – designed to fast-track early-stage mineral exploration – launched in South Africa on February 3. The intensive program provides junior explorers with $500,000 grants and access to proprietary data analytics, specifically targeting deeper copper and zinc systems in the Northern Cape province through advance mineral modeling.

Further boosting upstream efficiency, global technology company SLB inaugurated its Africa Performance Center in Luanda, Angola in late 2025. The facility provides regional operators with high-fidelity digital twins and AI-driven workflows for enhanced oil recovery. These tools allow companies to analyze massive datasets, extending the life of mature fields in Angola and Algeria.

AI is increasingly being adopted across Africa's energy management systems. Leading the charge in modern grid management, South Africa's state utility Eskom announced on March 3 that it is leveraging AI to build a self-healing power grid. This ambitious project aims to utilize predictive analytics to minimize outages and optimize integration of renewable energy sources across its national transmission network. This was followed by the signing of an agreement between Eskom, the University of Pretoria and the South African National Energy Development Institute, aimed at harnessing the power of AI to address critical energy challenges across the country.

Similar moves are taking place in Nigeria. In a landmark move for regulatory transparency, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) launched a 60-day digitalization program in early 2026. NUPRC Commission Chief Executive Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan announced the initiative following a visit from the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative's Executive Secretary Musa Sarkin Adar, pledging to eliminate paper trails to enhance speed and royalty enforcement.

Sustaining this momentum requires robust talent pipelines and university partnerships. Workforce reform is essential to bridge the technical gap, as African institutions must evolve into dynamic innovation hubs. Investing in local skills development ensures that the digital transition remains Africa-led, creating high-value jobs for the continent's growing youth population.

“Transforming Africa's economic potential into reality requires that we empower those who make growth possible – our SMEs, our women entrepreneurs and our youth,” says NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman, African Energy Chamber. “Harnessing digitalization is no longer an option but a necessity to ensure Africa remains globally competitive.”

Ultimately, digitalization and skills development are the dual engines driving Africa toward an era of energy abundance. By fostering a tech-savvy workforce and adopting cutting-edge analytics, the continent can de-risk projects and attract long-term capital. These critical advancements are set to form the cornerstone of discussions at the Renegade Intel track at AEW 2026 this October.
