Speaker ApplicationsApply to Speak in 2027

We are inviting practitioners actively delivering energy projects, transactions and infrastructure across Zambia and the SADC region. This is a working forum focused on real-world execution — not theory or promotion.

A Programme Built Around Real Market Activity

This is not a general industry platform. The programme reflects the real transition underway in Zambia’s power sector from a centrally managed system to a more commercially driven market shaped by industrial demand, power trading and infrastructure constraints.

We are seeking speakers directly involved in delivering projects, structuring transactions and managing energy supply.

What the Programme Covers

The 2026 programme is structured around the key areas shaping Zambia’s evolving energy market:

Power system context and market reform execution
Industrial demand and buyer behaviour
Project development and technology deployment
Financing, bankability and commercial structures
Implementation and operational case studies

Who Should Apply

We are seeking practitioners directly involved in delivering projects, managing energy supply or structuring transactions:

Large industrial energy users
Utilities, system operators and regulators
Power traders and energy aggregators
Independent power producers and project developers
Transmission and infrastructure investors
Banks, DFIs and financing institutions

Note: Technology providers must demonstrate involvement in real project delivery.
