Alkagesta said it participated in African Energy Week 2026 in Cape Town on 12–16 October, with Rustam Mirzoev representing the company throughout the five-day event. In an announcement on its website, the company described a programme bringing together policymakers, investors and energy industry participants from both the public and private sectors, spanning oil and gas, renewable energy and related services.
The conference agenda examined Africa’s position in energy markets amid geopolitical change, according to Alkagesta. Discussions covered the investment needs of the continent’s energy sector and the steps required to move planned projects into delivery. Power generation, hydrocarbons and renewables all featured in that discussion, placing project development and financing alongside questions about Africa’s role in the wider international energy market.
Among the subjects highlighted by the company were energy security and the prospect of Africa becoming a larger centre for hydrocarbon growth. The programme also addressed funding for renewable energy development, efforts to bring renewed activity to onshore and brownfield assets, and opportunities in frontier basins. These were presented as conference themes rather than specific investments or projects announced by Alkagesta.
Country-focused investment sessions examined Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. Alkagesta said those sessions offered insight into regional opportunities relevant to future exploration and production activity. Its account described the event’s coverage as extending across upstream, midstream and downstream operations, as well as renewables and energy services, rather than concentrating on a single segment of the energy supply chain.
Alkagesta linked its attendance to its existing involvement in African energy and commodity markets, including petroleum products and fertiliser supply in West and East Africa. The company said participation offered a way to engage with policymakers, investors and industry executives and strengthen relationships supporting its African operations. The announcement did not identify any resulting supply agreements, financing commitments or project transactions.
