Date: 16 - 17 September 2026

Location: Western Cape, South Africa

Description: The high energy density of Lithium-ion battery systems stands as a cornerstone in contemporary portable and stationary electrical energy storage. This paradigm shift demands a fresh set of skills and a multidisciplinary approach in engineering and science, ushering in concepts like thermal runaway and propagating circuit board failures. Balancing these challenges, the safety, reliability, usability, and cost-effectiveness of lithium-ion battery systems emerge as pivotal factors, rendering this technology not only viable but also low-risk.

In South Africa, the adoption of lithium-ion technology is gaining momentum on both residential and commercial fronts. The nation’s proactive stance positions it to lead the charge in advancing this technology throughout the African continent.

Date: 30 September - 1 October 2026

Location: Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg

Description: The Sustainability & ESG Africa Conference & Expo 2026, taking place 30 September – 1 October 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, is Africa’s leading executive platform dedicated to the business and economics of sustainability.

In 2026, the sustainability conversation has fundamentally shifted. No longer driven by compliance, reporting frameworks, or reputational positioning, sustainability is now judged by its ability to drive profitability, resilience, capital access, and long-term enterprise value.

African organisations are being forced to answer a far more direct question:

Does sustainability make business sense?

Sustainability & ESG Africa 2026 exists to answer that question—practically, commercially, and credibly.

Because sustainability is no longer a parallel agenda, it is the economics of modern business.

Through high-level discussions, knowledge sharing, networking and exhibition opportunities, Windaba creates a space for energy sector players to engage with each other on the issues that matter, build partnerships and identify opportunities for growth.

As the wind energy industry continues to evolve, the focus is increasingly on turning plans and commitments into tangible progress. Windaba provides an important meeting point for industry and government to engage on the policy and regulatory environment, investment, grid and infrastructure requirements; project development; localisation; skills and the broader economic opportunities associated with a growing wind energy sector.

In 2026, Windaba returns under the theme “Implementing Watt Matters: Policy. Power. People.” The theme reflects the need to move from ambition to implementation, bringing together the policy decisions, power-sector priorities and people required to accelerate delivery and build a resilient, inclusive and sustainable wind energy industry.
