The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Sustainable Energy Week 2026 is set to take place from 23 to 27 February 2026 in the iconic resort city of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, bringing together regional and international stakeholders to advance dialogue on energy sustainability, security, and innovation.
The high-level event is expected to convene policymakers, energy experts, utilities, investors, development partners, and private sector players under a shared agenda of accelerating the region’s transition towards sustainable and resilient energy systems. As SADC continues to pursue its regional energy integration objectives, the Sustainable Energy Week provides a critical platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and investment mobilisation. Key discussions will centre on renewable energy deployment, energy efficiency, climate resilience, financing mechanisms, and the role of emerging technologies in transforming the regional energy landscape. Participants will also explore strategies for addressing persistent challenges such as power deficits, infrastructure constraints, and the need for inclusive access to affordable energy. Hosting the event in Victoria Falls underscores Zimbabwe’s growing role in regional energy discourse and its commitment to promoting sustainable energy development. The choice of venue, renowned for its natural heritage, symbolically aligns with the broader sustainability agenda and the imperative to balance development with environmental stewardship. The SADC Sustainable Energy Week 2026 is anticipated to strengthen regional cooperation, stimulate investment opportunities, and contribute to practical solutions aimed at ensuring reliable, clean, and sustainable energy for socio-economic development across Southern Africa.
