Forum To Brainstorm On Energy Transformation, Emerging Business Opportunities

Energy stakeholders are expected to brainstorm on energy transformation and emerging business opportunities in the country at the 24th edition of NOG Energy Week is expected to take place from 29th of June to 3rd of July 2025.

The event will also help to advance conversations on raising African stakes in global energy industry, as it will bring together leaders, policymakers, regulators and professionals from across the globe to discuss energy transformation as well as explore emerging business opportunities within the country.

Themed ‘Accelerating Global Energy Progress through Investment, Partnerships and Innovation’, the event is scheduled to hold in Abuja.

Speaking on the conference, director(Nigeria), dmg Nigeria Events, Odiri Umusu, said: “For over two decades, NOG Energy Week has been at the heart of shaping Africa’s energy progress, driving conversations that influence policy, investment decisions and industry growth.

“As we gather for the 24th edition, the stakes are higher than ever, with shifting global energy policies, the push for resource maximisation and the need for sustainable development. This platform remains indispensable. NOG Energy Week 2025 will dissect the challenges and also spotlight actionable strategies that ensure Africa strengthens its role in the global energy industry.’’

The event, Umusu stressed, will feature high-level discussions on policy frameworks, financing mechanisms and technological innovations needed to drive Africa’s energy transformation.

The NOG Energy Week, which is the official meeting place for the global energy sector in sub-Saharan Africa, is produced by dmg Nigeria events, a subsidiary of dmg events with over 80 conferences and exhibitions across the world such as Adipec and Gastech.

As the world navigates a rapidly evolving energy landscape, NOG Energy Week 2025 promises to explore pathways for accelerating global energy progress through investment, partnerships and innovation, serving as a catalyst for discussions on energy security, economic resilience and sustainable growth.

Recent remarks from the United States Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, have sparked renewed conversations about Africa’s energy future. Wright underscored the urgency of pragmatic energy policies that balance economic growth with environmental considerations, emphasising the importance of leveraging Africa’s vast natural gas reserves while fostering investments in traditional hydrocarbons and emerging energy technologies.

His insights align with the mission of NOG Energy Week 2025, reinforcing the event’s role in driving actionable strategies for energy development across the continent, Umusu said.

As the energy sector is being shaped by key global developments, including the new President Donald Trump administration’s energy policies, shifting trade agreements and a revitalised focus on fossil fuels reinforcing the need for Africa to position itself within this evolving global context, ensuring that external policies do not hinder the continent’s drive for energy independence and infrastructure development.

The establishment of the African Energy Bank and the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) signal a new chapter in regional cooperation, opening avenues for increased financing and cross-border energy collaboration. NOG Energy Week 2025 will provide a platform for industry leaders to discuss how to leverage these initiatives to expand energy access, finance large-scale projects, and promote sustainable energy solutions.
