Alkagesta said it took part in African Energy Week 2026 in Cape Town, where Rustam Mirzoev represented the company throughout the five-day event. In an account published on its website, the company linked its participation to its activities in African energy and commodity markets, including supplies of petroleum products and fertiliser to West and East Africa.
According to Alkagesta, the conference gathered energy industry leaders, international investors and policymakers from both the public and private sectors. Participants spanned upstream production, midstream infrastructure, downstream businesses, renewable energy and energy services. The programme examined Africa’s position in global energy markets against a backdrop of geopolitical shifts, alongside the investment requirements of the continent’s energy sector.
A central discussion concerned how to move planned projects into delivery across electricity, hydrocarbons and renewables, the company said. Sessions also considered energy security and Africa’s potential to become a strategic centre for growth in hydrocarbon production. Renewable energy financing featured alongside those discussions, putting funding for clean energy development within the broader debate about investment in African energy markets.
Other programme themes included bringing renewed activity to onshore and brownfield assets and developing opportunities in frontier basins, according to the company’s account. Investment sessions focused separately on Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. Alkagesta described those country-level discussions as offering insight into regional opportunities relevant to the continent’s next phase of exploration and production activity.
For Alkagesta, the event offered a setting to engage with policymakers, investors and industry executives involved in African energy development. The company said attendance also helped it strengthen relationships supporting its expanding African operations. Its account presented the conference as an opportunity for engagement around those activities, rather than announcing a specific supply agreement, investment commitment or project transaction.
