The 44th edition of the International Energy Workshop (IEW) will be hosted by the University of Cape Town in Cape Town, South Africa, on June 22-24, 2026.

The IEW is a leading conference for the international energy modelling community. In a world of environmental and economic constraints, energy modelling is an increasingly important tool for addressing the complexity of energy planning and policy making. The IEW provides a venue for scholars and researchers to compare modelling tools, to discuss modelling advances for emerging energy sector issues, and to observe new trends in the global energy sector.

The Energy Systems Research Group (ESRG), University of Cape Town The Energy Systems Research Group (ESRG) is a multi-disciplinary team housed in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Cape Town. It combines modelling of energy and economic systems with policy analysis and field-based research, to generate and enhance knowledge of energy systems at sectoral, regional, national and sub-continental scales, focused on South Africa and the SADC region. The ESRG works extensively with external non-academic partners from government, civil society and industry.
