The 21st AEEP Energy Talks, held on 5 November 2025, unpacked the outcomes of the Second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2) and explored how these can translate into concrete results ahead of COP30. The discussion convened experts from Africa and Europe to examine how political commitments made in Addis Ababa can drive practical measures in energy access, climate finance, green industrialisation, and just transition pathways.
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.
