Energy Capital & Power (ECP) has launched the US-Africa Energy Forum (USAEF), a conference aimed at connecting US investors with Africa's energy opportunities.

The event, scheduled for August 6-7, 2025, will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, and investors to explore Africa's rapidly growing energy sector and its alignment with US investment potential.

The forum will collaborate with key partners like Welligence, the Texas Africa Chamber of Commerce, the African Energy Chamber, Moore, and S&P Global Commodity Insights to enhance knowledge sharing, market insights, and strategic initiatives across the energy sector.

USAEF serves as a strategic extension of ECP's flagship events, enabling participants to access high-potential African energy projects while leveraging Houston's role as a global energy hub.

The forum will highlight dynamic African markets, including the Republic of Congo, Libya, and Angola, showcasing upcoming licensing rounds, brownfield projects, LNG projects, and groundbreaking developments from deepwater oil and gas exploration to utility-scale renewables.

The event will also feature fireside chats, ministerial panels, and high-level, open-door panels spanning upstream exploration to downstream refining and trade.

"USAEF is not just an event – it’s a gateway to the opportunities we showcase across Africa. By tapping into Houston’s unmatched investment ecosystem, USAEF creates a unique pathway for stakeholders to connect, collaborate and channel their engagement into transformative partnerships at our Africa-based conferences. This event underscores our commitment to driving impactful investment and growth in Africa’s energy future," says James Chester, CEO, ECP.
