The C&I Energy + Storage Summit Johannesburg is a focused business event for commercial and industrial energy users looking to navigate South Africa’s changing electricity market and make smarter energy procurement, investment and infrastructure decisions.

Taking place on 28–29 October 2026 at The Maslow Hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg, the summit brings together senior energy buyers, large power users, project developers, utilities, financiers, investors, regulators, traders and technology providers for two days of practical discussion, networking and dealmaking.

As businesses face rising electricity costs, grid constraints, market reform, decarbonisation targets and increasing pressure to secure reliable power, the summit focuses on the commercial realities shaping energy strategy today. Key themes include wheeling, power purchase agreements, tariff structures, grid access, battery energy storage, behind-the-meter solutions, financing, market reform and energy resilience.

The programme is designed around real-world challenges and active projects, giving delegates the opportunity to hear from organisations already implementing new energy strategies and to understand what is working in practice. Sessions will explore how businesses can manage energy costs, improve reliability, evaluate technology options and make better-informed procurement decisions.

Beyond the conference programme, the event creates opportunities for meaningful commercial connections. The Hosted Buyer Programme connects senior end-user decision-makers with relevant solution providers, while the Project & Investment Network brings projects, investors, financiers and strategic partners together to help move viable opportunities closer to execution.

The summit is co-located with the EIUG Annual Conference, Data Centres Summit and Water Security Africa Johannesburg, creating a broader platform for leaders working across energy, water and digital infrastructure.

Delegates will also benefit from focused masterclasses, workshops and networking opportunities designed to support practical decision-making and build stronger connections across the energy value chain. The event provides a valuable meeting point for organisations seeking solutions, partners, funding and insight into the opportunities emerging from South Africa’s energy transition.

Whether you are an energy buyer, developer, investor, financier, utility, policymaker or technology provider, the C&I Energy + Storage Summit Johannesburg offers a practical platform to understand the market, connect with key decision-makers and identify opportunities in South Africa’s evolving energy landscape.
