The US-Africa Energy Forum, set to take place in Houston, Texas, on August 6–7, 2025, will prominently feature Libya as a key destination for American energy investment. Organized by Energy Capital & Power, the forum will gather high-level government officials, private sector leaders, and major energy corporations to strengthen cooperation between the United States and Africa’s most dynamic energy markets.
Libya, alongside Angola and Nigeria, is expected to receive significant attention during the forum, as the country pushes to revitalize its oil and gas sector and expand into renewable energy initiatives.
The two-day event will open with a major policy dialogue titled “The Future of Energy in Africa,” bringing together policymakers, ministers, and executives from across Africa and the US to discuss strategic priorities and opportunities. Libya’s renewed licensing round—offering 22 exploration areas—and its target of raising oil production to 1.6 million barrels per day by the end of 2025 are expected to be among the highlights.
The agenda will also feature a session on “Leading a New Wave of African Business,” exploring how American private investment can drive the next phase of Africa’s energy growth. Libya’s rich reserves and strategic location make it a prime candidate for new partnerships aimed at advancing both oil production and cleaner energy development.
Investment prospects across North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East will also be discussed, with a particular emphasis on how US companies can play a larger role in Africa’s critical minerals and energy sectors.
Libya, together with Angola, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, will be the subject of dedicated sessions exploring investment climates, legal frameworks, and the latest reforms intended to attract international investors.
Major American companies such as Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips will present their current and planned projects, while seeking to forge new partnerships, including with Libyan institutions eager for foreign expertise and funding.
Libya’s rising energy profile, amid efforts to rebuild its infrastructure and pivot toward renewable energy, places it firmly at the center of discussions about the future of African and global energy at this year’s US-Africa Energy Forum.
