Enlit Africa 2026 will place commercial and industrial (C&I) execution at the center of its agenda on Wednesday 20 May, with a focused programme spanning the Power Hub, Water Hub, and Renewable Energy & Storage Hub at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC).
The event runs from 19–21 May 2026 and is created by VUKA Group, bringing together utilities, municipalities, financiers, developers, large energy users, and technology providers to address real-world infrastructure delivery challenges across Africa.
C&I delivery focus
The 20 May programme opens with a keynote session titled “How a coordinated energy/water plan could change African resilience” scheduled from 09:30–11:45. The discussion frames energy and water as interconnected operational systems that require coordinated planning rather than isolated management.
The agenda then transitions into practical implementation tracks aimed at decision-makers responsible for delivering and sustaining large-scale projects across industrial environments. The focus remains on execution, investment readiness, and operational reliability across sectors.
In the Renewable Energy & Storage Hub, the sessions move directly into project execution topics such as “Project implementation for multi-megawatt C&I projects” from 11:45–13:00. The programme continues with “Clean energy adoption in the C&I market” from 14:30–15:45, followed by “Mobility: Management of electric vehicle fleets for C&I” from 16:00–17:30, highlighting operational electrification strategies for enterprises.
Water and energy systems
The Water Hub agenda addresses industrial water reliability and compliance requirements through a series of technical and applied sessions. These include “Next-generation water treatment technologies” from 11:45–13:00, followed by “Advanced water treatment & smart water systems” from 14:30–15:45, and concluding with “Accelerating water technology deployment for C&I operations” from 16:30–17:30.
The programme structure reflects a growing regional emphasis on integrating water and energy systems into unified operational strategies rather than treating them as separate infrastructure challenges.
Together, the three hubs create a consolidated platform designed for utilities, municipalities, and industrial operators focused on execution rather than theory, with an emphasis on deployment, scalability, and measurable infrastructure outcomes.
