The Future of Energy Conference (FEC) is an annual flagship event hosted by the Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP). It is a platform for stakeholders across Africa to converge, dialogue, and pave the way for an inclusive and sustainable energy future for the continent. The Conference critically examines strategies Africa can adopt to harness the inherent opportunities of energy transition and its natural resources to alleviate the continent’s energy poverty and promote economic transformation.

The 2024 edition was held from 26th to 28th August 2024 under the theme Harnessing Africa’s Resource Wealth: Fuelling Innovation for Equitable Energy Access. It was co-convened with Enzi Ijayo African Initiative and supported by key partners, namely Ford Foundation, Oxfam, Global Methane Hub, Energy Transition Fund, Global Witness, Natural Resource Governance Institute and Tax Justice Network Africa. The Conference culminated in the presentation of the Action Points, which outline clear and practical policy recommendations and strategies to guide stakeholders in their respective roles for advancing sustainable and equitable energy solutions across Africa.
