Alkagesta said it participated in African Energy Week 2026 in Cape Town, with Rustam Mirzoev representing the company throughout the five-day programme. In an account published on its website, the company described the gathering as bringing together energy industry leaders, international investors and policymakers from both the public and private sectors.
According to Alkagesta, the conference examined Africa’s place in global energy markets against a backdrop of geopolitical realignment. Discussions focused on the investment needs of African energy markets and on turning planned projects into operating developments. The programme covered power, hydrocarbons and renewables, with participants drawn from upstream, midstream and downstream businesses, as well as renewable energy and energy services.
Energy security was among the central themes highlighted in the company’s account, alongside Africa’s potential to become a strategic source of hydrocarbon growth. Other sessions addressed financing for renewable energy development, the revitalisation of onshore and brownfield assets, and opportunities in frontier basins. These topics formed part of a broader programme examining both investment opportunities and the route from proposed projects to delivery across the continent’s energy sectors.
Country-focused investment sessions included Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, Alkagesta said. The company described those discussions as offering insight into regional opportunities that could shape Africa’s next cycle of exploration and production. Its summary placed those country-level sessions within the wider conference agenda on energy investment, resource development and Africa’s strategic position.
Alkagesta said its existing activities in African energy and commodity markets include supplying petroleum products and fertiliser across West and East Africa. It presented attendance at the conference as an opportunity to engage with policymakers, investors and industry executives, and to strengthen relationships supporting what it described as its growing African operations. The account did not announce a specific supply agreement or investment commitment.
