Powering Africa’s Digital Infrastructure Across Africa, digital infrastructure is constrained less by demand than by power.

9 September 2026 | 9:00 - 13:00

Africa’s digital infrastructure ambitions are accelerating - but power remains the single biggest constraint on scale. Data centres, fibre networks and mobile infrastructure can only grow as far as energy systems allow, making reliability, cost and long-term supply central to both deployment and investment decisions.

The Digital Infrastructure Energy Summit brings together digital infrastructure operators, energy providers, investors and policymakers to address power as core digital infrastructure. The focus is on how energy is sourced, structured and managed to enable resilient, scalable growth across African markets.

What the Summit helps you unlock

Data Centre Operators & Developers

Clear strategies for improving uptime, resilience and efficiency, and structuring power partnerships that support long-term expansion.

Mobile Network Operators & TowerCos

Practical insight into hybrid and decentralised energy models that reduce operating costs and improve network reliability.

Energy Providers & Utilities

A deeper understanding of digital infrastructure demand profiles and where long-term anchor customers are emerging.

Infrastructure Investors

Sharper visibility into how energy risk impacts bankability and which power models support investable projects.

Government & Policymakers

Clarity on regulatory frameworks and reforms that accelerate private investment in digital infrastructure.

Agenda highlights:

Focused discussions on power as the critical enabler of digital infrastructure scale across Africa.

  • Why power reliability, quality and cost underpin digital growth.
  • How hybrid and decentralised energy models improve uptime and reduce risk.
  • Designing long‑term power systems for data centres and networks.
