C&I Energy + Storage 2025

Why Participate?

The Hosted Buyer Programme gives you complimentary access to the C&I Energy + Storage Summit — but more importantly, it connects you to the people, solutions, and insights that can help you take control of your energy future.

  • Meet solution providers who get your reality
    Speak directly with suppliers across the region — not just selling a product, but solving for load-shedding, price volatility, and operational pressure. 

  • Network with other commercial & industrial energy users
    This programme connects you with peers who are willing to share what’s working and what’s not.

  • Cut through the noise
    Here, you can hear from operators who’ve actually implemented systems, understand how they made the business case, and ask the hard questions.

  • Understand where the market is headed
    From regulatory updates to new financing tools and emerging tech, this summit puts it all on the table. 

Please note: The Hosted Buyer Programme is exclusively available for individuals actively implementing or planning a C&I energy + storage project.
