Participants will also deliberate on implementation frameworks, regulatory coordination and financing mechanisms to support the transition towards sustainable and inclusive energy systems.
The conference is further designed to strengthen collaboration among SADC member states in addressing shared energy challenges, including access to reliable power, climate resilience and the integration of renewable technologies into national grids.
The Sustainable Energy Week is scheduled to conclude on February 27, 2026, in Victoria Falls, with outcomes expected to shape future regional initiatives and joint programmes in clean energy and energy efficiency across Southern Africa.
