Congo Energy & Investment Forum 2026 | Energy Capital Power | TBA

The forum is connecting project developers with Congolese regulators and policymakers. Organized by Energy Capital & Power in collaboration with the Ministry of Hydrocarbons, this platform enabled candid dialogue, facilitating new investments and deals in the country’s energy sector.

Unique to the country's history, the event showcased partnership and investment opportunities in the hydrocarbon exploration, gas monetization, green energy and downstream industries across the continent, with a focus on the Republic of the Congo as a key energy investment destination across oil, gas and power sectors.

Why participate?
• Capitalize on new opportunities across one of Africa’s most established oil and gas markets as fresh exploration prospects, infrastructure projects and partnerships emerge.
• Leverage the Republic of Congo’s strategic position to expand your presence across the broader Central African energy market as the country strengthens its position as a regional hydrocarbon hub.
• Invest in an emerging natural gas hub as global demand incentivizes the accelerated development of LNG infrastructure and distribution solutions.
• Connect with Congolese regulators and policymakers and gain strategic insight into natural gas regulation, national priorities and investment opportunities.
