Who should attend

A working session, not an audience. If you hold a piece of the problem, this is your room.

Solar, storage, EV-charging and software

Show what works on the ground, see what blocks you, and meet the partners to scale.

Investors, funders and DFIs

See where the investable opportunities sit and what certainty you need before capital moves.

Utilities, municipalities, IPPs and grid operators

See how aggregated solar and storage can ease peak demand, and agree what has to change.

Large energy users and asset owners

Mines, manufacturers, retailers, property groups: where flexibility exists and what stops you using it.

Aggregators, traders and retailers

Tell the room what blocks market access today, and who has to fix it.

Policy, regulatory and legal professionals

Hear the implementation realities and help turn agreed priorities into workable rules.

Why attend now
The market is moving. The rulebook isn’t. Be in the room.
The rulebook doesn't exist yet. NERSA says no VPP-specific regulations are being drafted.
The market is already moving. Plentify and Deye, Cape Town with RMI, and pooled wheeling in April 2026.
Help set the agenda. November agrees the priorities, so 2027 starts from them.
Fresh municipal mandates. It lands weeks after the 4 November elections.
One registration. Two events. Three days.
