Who is on the programme, and what they are working on.
01 / The brand

Built where the power is.

Megawatt is the power and new-energy exhibition brand of MIE Events. For more than 26 years, MIE Events has built trade platforms across Africa and the Middle East — and Megawatt is where that work meets the energy transition.

Three editions, one standard: Accra, Nairobi and Casablanca. Each is shaped around its own market — its regulations, its buyers, its projects — and connected to the others by one organisers’ team.

02 / What we cover

Seven sectors. One energy transition.

The full chain, from generation to the water and grid that carries it. Megawatt is built around the sectors that are reshaping the market.

01

Wind & offshore

Onshore and offshore wind, turbines, foundations, installation and O&M.

02

Solar

Utility-scale PV, distributed generation, trackers and storage.

03

Nuclear

Large-scale baseload, small modular reactors, fuel cycle and safety.

04

Gas & clean fuels

Gas-fired generation, LNG, hydrogen-ready turbines and efficiency.

05

Water treatment

Desalination, industrial water, pumping, reuse and water-energy links.

06

Hydro & construction

Dams, turbines, civil works, transmission and grid connection.

07

Geothermal

Exploration, drilling, steam plants and district heating.

08

One platform for the transition.

Seven sectors, one room. See how they meet across the three editions.

02 / Our purpose

To connect the people who build, supply and operate electricity — and give every market a room of its own.

01

Connect

Put the buyer, the specifier and the supplier in the same room, in the market where the project is happening.

02

Equip

Show the full chain — generation, transmission, storage, metering and the services that keep it running.

03

Grow

Give each edition its own identity, its own audience and its own place in the region’s energy calendar.

The conversation behind the exhibition.

Megawatt is also a working conference: three days of sessions on generation, grids, finance and the policy that decides what gets built.
