MEGAWATT AFRICA (MWA) is a trade fair dedicated to energy generation, lighting, and renewable energy in Africa. The name "MWA" not only stands for "Megawatt" – the unit of electrical power – but also symbolizes the exhibition's clear focus on innovative energy solutions that are vital for the continent’s sustainable development.

The fair takes place annually at the Accra International Conference Centre, located in the heart of Ghana’s capital.
