Washington, DC – 19 February 2025 – Sun Africa, a global leader in energy development and a long-standing partner of EnergyNet, is proud to announce its role as the overall conference sponsor for the upcoming Powering Africa Summit, taking place in Washington, DC on March 6-7, 2025.
As a key driver of energy advancement in Africa, Sun Africa champions an America First approach that fosters mutual benefits by expanding U.S. exports to the continent through commercially viable projects. The company has played a pivotal role in executing large-scale energy initiatives that not only bolster Africa’s economic growth and energy security but also promote American business interests on the continent. Sun Africa’s sponsorship highlights its ongoing dedication to supporting EnergyNet’s mission of facilitating strategic investment and cooperation between Africa’s energy sector and US suppliers/manufacturers/developers.
“Sun Africa remains committed to harnessing Africa’s immense energy resources through innovative structures, state-of-the-art technology, and strong alliances,” said Adam Cortese, CEO of Sun Africa.
“We are proud to deepen our partnership with EnergyNet and to take on a leadership role at the Powering Africa Summit. We are seeing a sea change in how the US participates in foreign infrastructure development and our unique model of development is an excellent illustration of how US energy companies can thrive in emerging markets on a strictly commercial basis.
"We have long championed a commercially viable means of development, eschewing grants and subsidies, while successfully affecting billions of dollars of US exports to address Africa’s energy needs. We believe a market-based approach is always best and look forward to sharing our experiences at the upcoming Summit.”
The Powering Africa Summit is a premier gathering of policymakers, investors, and industry leaders focused on accelerating energy access and infrastructure development across the continent. This year’s event will feature high-level discussions on project financing, policy frameworks, and emerging opportunities in the energy sector.
EnergyNet’s Managing Director, Simon Gosling, welcomed Sun Africa’s increased involvement, stating, “We are thrilled to have Sun Africa step up as our overall conference sponsor. Their expertise, dedication, and impact in Africa’s energy market make them an ideal partner to help shape the critical conversations and solutions emerging from this year’s summit.”
Sun Africa’s expanded role at the Powering Africa Summit 2025 reaffirms its strong commitment to fostering innovation, investment, and energy transformation across the African continent while simultaneously enhancing commercial trade relations and infrastructure development between the United States and Africa.
