The African Energy Commission of the African Union and partners, in collaboration with the Regional Centres for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, presents the Inaugural African Energy Efficiency Conference (AfEEC). The AfEEC hosted by the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia under the auspices of the African Union Commission Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on December 10-11, 2025.
The event brought together honourable ministers responsible for energy in African Union member states and high-level representatives of development partners, businesses, NGOs, research institutions, and other key stakeholders. It was preceded by preconference training events that include partner meetings and expert training in various thematic areas.
The AfEEC was organised under the African Energy Efficiency Alliance (AfEEA), a collaborative platform adopted by the African Heads of State and Government during the 46th Ordinary Session of the Executive Council. The AfEEA brings together global stakeholders to promote knowledge and experience sharing, strengthen advocacy and awareness, support research and development, facilitate technology transfer, and mobilise financing and investments for energy efficiency programmes in Africa.
