African Energy 2026
Sixteen markets, two indices, one map of where the signals point next
October 2026 · 16 markets
energy markets scored on both suitability and timing, for publication at African Energy Week
The call
Sixteen markets, scored on suitability and on timing at once. The rank order that results is not the one the sector's conference circuit would predict. Scores are in validation ahead of publication.
Two indices, one map
Most energy research answers where. Kilwa runs suitability and timing as separate models and publishes both, because a market can be structurally attractive and tactically early at the same time — and capital deployed into that gap pays for the difference.
This edition is prepared for African Energy Week in Cape Town. Scores are in final validation and will be published in full on release — we do not publish a number before it has cleared that process.
