What is New for 2025 The 10th Powering Africa Summit (PAS25) returns to Washington D.C. from 6-7th March 2025 We are excited to be marking the 10th anniversary of the Powering Africa Summit this year, celebrating the US-Africa energy partnership. We will once again bring together U.S. Government stakeholders, institutional investors, private financiers, service and technology providers from North America with Ministers and governments from Africa, to continue discussions under the theme ‘Capital Flows Underpinning the Energy Transition’.

Following a hugely successful ninth edition in March 2024 we are delighted to be able to return for 2025 with a highly exciting and interactive agenda, again focusing on capital flows, the energy transition, and increasing the pace of projects across the continent. For 2025 we are taking a regional approach, focussing in turn on energy cooperation in the South, East, West and North of the continent.

Since the first summit in 2014 we have been delighted by the support received from stakeholders across the energy value chain, coming together to drive energy developments on the continent. We are thrilled to bring you this opportunity again, to join us in Washington D.C..

After the success of last year’s Celebration Dinner, we will be hosting a 10th Anniversary Special Gala Evening this year which we will celebrate in conjunction with International Women’s Day, as part of the summit, on 6th March.

We look forward to welcoming you to PAS25. If you have any queries around participation, please contact gemma@energynet.co.uk.
