African Power and Energy Elites Awards 2020

The African Power and Energy Elite publication and the African Power, Energy & Water Industry Awards have combined for their 2020 editions with a single nomination and selection process across a set of complementary categories. The coveted African Power, Energy & Water Industry awards has been taken place for the past six years, during the African Utility Week and POWERGEN Africa conference and exhibition, in Cape Town.
