The first African Energy Efficiency Conference in Addis Ababa held from 8-11 November 2025 was a landmark moment for Africa’s clean energy future. Within this context, the Africa-EU Energy Partnership (AEEP) played an active role by supporting AUDA-NEPAD‘s session on the Africa Ten-Year Infrastructure Investment Plan (TYIIP) for Cross-Border Interconnectivity.

The Joint declaration of the 7th African Union - European Union summit 2025 confirmed both continents commitment to continue the strategic cooperation in the energy sector through the Africa-EU Green Energy Initiative, with the aim to provide at least 100 million people in Africa with access to clean electricity by 2030.
