The Renewable Energy Forum Africa (REFA) is set to convene key players in Africa’s renewable energy industry in Lagos in two weeks, offering participants two days of networking, investment opportunities and discussions on the continent’s clean energy sector.

The annual investment-focused forum is dedicated to accelerating renewable energy investment across Africa. Its previous editions took place in Cape Town in 2022, Nairobi in 2023 and Accra in 2025. For its 2026 edition, the event will move to Nigeria, with the Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel on Victoria Island, Lagos, selected as the host venue.

REFA serves as a platform for connecting major stakeholders across the renewable energy value chain. Expected participants include institutional and private investors, project developers, policymakers, energy utilities, regulators and corporate organisations.

The 2026 programme will focus on two key objectives: delivering relevant industry discussions and facilitating meaningful business connections among delegates.

Under its industry discussion agenda, the forum will address developments and opportunities across several areas of renewable energy. These include utility-scale renewable energy, commercial and industrial projects, energy storage, electric mobility (e-mobility), energy access, finance and investment, policy and regulation, as well as employment and skills development.

Beyond the discussions, organisers are prioritising productive business engagements for attendees. A dedicated matchmaking platform will enable delegates to identify and connect with relevant investors, project owners and potential business partners throughout the event.

The platform is designed to help participants make targeted connections and maximise networking opportunities during the two-day gathering.

Registration for the Renewable Energy Forum Africa 2026 is currently open.
