As a member-led advocacy organisation, the Energy Intensive Users Group (EIUG) draws on evidence-based insight, technical expertise, and constructive engagement to influence policy and strengthen industrial competitiveness.
The conference is a platform to connect with the wider energy ecosystem, take part in strategic conversations, and gain practical ideas to apply now — from securing supply to reducing costs to navigating the transition to a lower-carbon future.
The 2026 programme is shaped with guidance from senior energy leaders across South African industry.

Reflecting on EIUG’s 25-year history, the South African electricity industry is currently undergoing unprecedented reform, driven by progressive policy choices, technological innovations, and responses to climate change. The need to influence this reform is why EIUG encourages commercial and industrial power users to attend the C&I Energy + Storage Summit and the EIUG Inaugural Conference as we unpack these drivers and chart the way forward.
Fanele Mondi, Chief Executive Officer, EIUG
The C&I Energy + Storage Summit is the premier platform for South Africa’s commercial and industrial sectors, driving the adoption of sustainable energy and storage solutions.

By participating, businesses gain the tools and partnerships needed to cut costs, secure operations, and lead the transition to a resilient energy future.
Hosted alongside the EIUG Conference, and co-located with Water Security Africa, the Summit creates a unique cross-sector platform where industrial energy users, utilities, and solution providers come together to address shared challenges and opportunities in South Africa’s evolving energy landscape.
