Launching the 2019 Africa Energy Indaba theme: Africa’s Energy Future
OF THE ENERGY SOLUTION IN AFRICA
DIGITALISATION & THE IMPACT ON THE AFRICAN ENERGY SECTOR
The utility of the future will have to be fully digitised. Utilities are facing a digital transformation which can be beneficial in terms of improved operations and asset management
Digital management of distributed energy sources has already begun and brings opportunities and a market, especially for the Private sector
An energy revolution through decentralisation is occurring (off-grid and
micro-grids)

community, in focused and more efficient ways that were previously impossible
The 2019 Africa Energy Indaba will focus on:
- New developments in the African energy sector
- How can business engage and access project opportunities in the African energy sector
- What new technologies will be used across Africa to provide access to energy for the millions of people who do not have access to energy,
i.e. off-grid and mini grid solutions - How will Industry 4.0 impact the Africa energy sector
- What is the business opportunity linked to Industry 4.0 and the application in the energy sector
- Growth and development of African renewable energy
- Country focus discussions
