Nairobi will become a beacon of renewable energy when Intersolar Africa 2026 launches this February at the Sarit Expo Centre.
This prestigious event marks a significant expansion, evolving from a successful summit into a premier international exhibition and conference.
As East Africa grapples with rising electricity demand, solar power paired with battery storage offers a vital lifeline for growth.
This technological revolution aims to stabilize power systems while strengthening long-term energy security for local businesses and surrounding communities.
Regional leaders like Kenya already boast mature commercial solar markets, effectively serving the manufacturing, retail, and agricultural processing sectors.
Key speakers, including Kenya’s energy regulator Daniel Kiptoo, will discuss the regulatory frameworks necessary to unlock massive private investment.
The conference will explore a diverse array of topics, from agrivoltaics and e-mobility to optimized battery storage and bankable projects.
Over 100 exhibitors from fifteen different nations are expected to showcase cutting-edge solutions across the entire solar value chain.
Dr. Florian Wessendorf highlighted that this platform connects global expertise with local markets to accelerate project development and innovation.
As technology costs plummet, Nairobi stands ready to orchestrate a sustainable symphony of light and power across the continent.
