20th Annual
Southern African Coal Conference
29-31 January 2025 • Cape Town, South Africa

Join us for the 20th Annual Southern African Coal Conference in Cape Town!

Join us at the Southern African Coal Conference in Cape Town, South Africa on 29-31 January 2025 for the 20th anniversary of the industry’s premier gathering! Your attendance at this event is more critical than ever as South Africa’s coal industry faces a new political landscape, with a coalition government now in charge of deciding its future. President Ramaphosa faces the difficult task of finding the right balance between long-term energy security and a just energy transition – this is one of the most crucial times for his presidency since taking office in 2018.

Coal still plays a vital role in South Africa’s economy, providing fuel for most of the country’s electricity, contributing billions of rand to the Treasury, and employing thousands. But the industry continues to face systemic logistical and supply chain constraints, as well as investment and regulatory issues. To help you understand and make sense of this evolving landscape this year’s Southern African Coal Conference will address and provide critical market intelligence around numerous key themes, including:

• What are the new government’s energy transition plans for South Africa?
• How will seaborne markets perform in 2025 and who will be buying?
• What is the demand outlook for South African coal into its overseas markets?
• Will Transnet Freight Rail be able to improve its performance in 2025?
• How is the industry helping to alleviate logistical constraints?
• Will Eskom need to extend the lives of its coal-fired power plants?
• How can miners secure funding to ensure the country has sufficient supplies?

Now in its 20th year, this industry-leading event brings together government officials, mining executives and market experts to learn and plan for 2025 and beyond – this is truly a “can’t miss” event for anyone involved in the global coal marketplace.
