The 21st Africa-EU Energy Partnership (AEEP) Energy Talks will debrief the key outcomes of the 2nd Africa Climate Summit (ACS2) and explore their implications for Africa-EU cooperation ahead of COP30. The webinar will open with remarks from Dr Kamugisha Kazaura, Director of Infrastructure & Energy at the African Union Commission, and Mr Gianlucca Azzoni, Head of Policy & Cooperation at the EU Delegation to the African Union.
The Africa-EU Energy Partnership (AEEP) will host the 21st Energy Talks webinar on 5 November 2025, from 13:00 – 14:30 CET (14:00 – 15:30 EAT). Since its launch in November 2020, the AEEP Energy Talks series has provided a bimonthly platform for Africa-Europe energy dialogue, covering topics such as renewable hydrogen, solar energy, clean cooking, energy finance, and pathways to achieving SDG7.
On June 26, 2025, the Africa-EU Energy Partnership (AEEP) convened a successful meeting of its Steering Group (SG), reaffirming the commitment of African and European partners to collaborative action on sustainable energy access, transition, and investment. The meeting brought together representatives from the African Union Commission (AUC), the European Union Delegation to the African Union (EUD), Member States, and key implementing partners to assess progress, align on next steps, and advance joint strategic priorities.
Across Africa, pioneering projects are transforming people’s lives and ensuring a future of affordable and sustainable energy in the continent. With the support of the European Union, these projects boost the production of renewable energy, raise awareness of a clean energy transition, create employment opportunities, promote gender equality, foster green mobility, and accelerate the access to energy services.
The African Union Development Agency NEPAD has released their synthesis report on the African Continental Power Systems Masterplan (CMP), quantifying the value of the envisioned continental wide electricity power network.
The report details how current energy development trajectories are inadequate to unlock the continent’s growth potential.
