AEC Pitches Africa Energy to Israeli Investors as 2026 Capex Targets $41 Billion
1 articles · Updated · African Energy Chamber · Jun 5
Summary
June 8’s “Unlocking African Energy Opportunities” webinar will have the African Energy Chamber court Israeli investors with market-entry guidance, licensing opportunities and partnership models across Africa’s energy sector.
About $41 billion in upstream oil and gas spending is forecast for 2026—the highest in more than a decade—with production seen holding near 11.4 million barrels of oil equivalent a day before rising to 13.6 million by 2030.
Some 600 million Africans still lack electricity, driving demand for grid stability, renewables and gas-to-power solutions—areas the chamber says match Israeli strengths in energy, water and grid technology.
Renewable capacity in Africa rose 15.9% in 2025 to 82 GW, yet the continent captured only 1.6% of global additions, leaving room for investment in storage, distributed generation and grid management.
More than $90 billion backing Mission 300 and new gas finds in Mozambique, Senegal and Mauritania add to the push, as the webinar also promotes African Energy Week 2026 and broader Israel-Africa energy ties.
As Africa boosts fossil fuels, can Israeli green technology truly find its footing on the continent?
