Enlit Africa, set to take place 20 to 22 May 2025 in Cape Town, is the continent’s premier gathering for the power, energy and water sectors. This year it will open the door on opportunities for commercial and industrial (C&I) companies seeking to achieve energy and water security through self-generation and sustainable resource management.
Enlit Africa offers a forum to connect decision-makers and determine Africa’s future in sustainable energy and water.
With rising energy costs, water scarcity and grid reliability challenges, C&I businesses are turning to renewable energy, smart technologies and innovative water solutions to manage operational resilience. Enlit Africa provides a forum where C&I leaders can gain insights, forge partnerships and learn about global trends in moving towards decarbonisation and resource efficiency. With over 200 speakers and a comprehensive programme, the event will offer businesses information on implementing integrated energy and water strategies.
For C&I companies, securing reliable energy and water supplies is critical to maintaining productivity and competitiveness. Self-generation through solar, wind and battery storage reduces reliance on unstable grids, and advanced water management technologies help to address scarcity and regulatory pressures.
Enlit Africa will showcase solutions like smart grids, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and water-efficient technologies, alongside financing models that make them accessible. Companies can learn how to optimise resource use, mitigate risks and build sustainable operations that support long-term profitability and environmental goals.
A virtual programme
To maximise the Enlit Africa experience, the organisers have prepared a ‘virtual programme’ highlighting sessions that support self-generation, energy security and water management. Spanning the Strategise, Innovate, Renewable Energy & Storage Hub, Water Hub and Project & Investment Network stages, these sessions offer practical tools for companies to implement integrated resource solutions. You can access the Virtual Programme here.
Enlit Africa 2025 offers commercial and industrial companies an opportunity to redefine their energy and water strategies, to support resilience and sustainability in a fast-changing world. Businesses can learn about the potential of solar, wind, battery energy storage in self-generation systems as well as technologies like desalination to assist in water security. Smart metering and grid management technologies also help to optimise energy and water consumption, driving down costs and advancing sustainability.
The conference offers opportunities for businesses to connect with financiers, opening doors to capital for ambitious energy and water projects, as well as wider networking opportunities with technology providers, utilities and regulators to explore strategic partnerships.
Enlit Africa’s programme will enable companies to stay ahead of regulatory shifts and market trends, and to develop strategies to progress decarbonisation and resource management in their operations.
