ALIGNING WITH CONTINENTAL INITIATIVES
Our investments are strategically aligned with broader continental initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Established in 2019, AfCFTA aims to eliminate tariffs and harmonize trade laws among member countries, promoting infrastructural development in power, transportation and telecommunications. By leveraging the opportunities presented by AfCFTA, We positioned to contribute to large scale renewable projects and facilitate cross border energy trade, thereby reducing energy costs and enhancing regional integration.
OFF GRID SOLAR SOLUTIONS
Recognizing the challenges of extending traditional grid infrastructure to remote areas, We invest in off grid solar projects that provide decentralized power solutions. This approach aligns with initiatives like those supported by Open Capital, which focus on off grid solar (OGS) and productive use of energy (PUE) to transition Africa to a green future.
WIND ENERGY PROJECTS
The development of wind farms in regions with high wind potential. For instance, investments in projects similar to the 60MW wind farm in Djibouti, launched by a consortium including the Africa Finance Corporation and FMO, demonstrate the potential for wind energy to contribute significantly to Africa’s renewable energy capacity.
MINI GRID SYSTEMS
To enhance energy access in underserved communities, We invest in mini grid systems that combine renewable energy sources with advanced storage solutions. This strategy not only provides reliable power but also fosters local economic development by enabling small businesses to operate more efficiently.
ENERGY STORAGE AND GRID STABILITY
As renewable penetration deepens, the intermittency of sources like solar and wind necessitates robust storage infrastructure. Investment in battery technologies particularly lithium ion and emerging alternatives such as flow batteries is vital for load balancing, frequency regulation and grid reliability. Energy storage not only underpins system resilience but also facilitates the integration of renewables at scale.
GREEN HYDROGEN DEVELOPMENT
Green hydrogen, derived from electrolysis powered by renewable energy, represents a frontier technology with the potential to decarbonise hard to abate sectors such as heavy industry and long haul transport. Investment in pilot projects, electrolyser manufacturing and supportive regulatory frameworks can position emerging markets at the vanguard of the global hydrogen economy, fostering both environmental and industrial competitiveness.
We ensure that all projects adhere to stringent environmental standards and actively involve local communities in decision making processes. This approach not only mitigates potential adverse impacts but also fosters shared value, ensuring that the benefits of renewable energy projects are equitably distributed
"By drawing the line, we do not simply mark a threshold we define a transformative frontier. In embedding intelligence within the very fabric of our energy infrastructure, we transcend traditional limitations and unlock novel dimensions of operational flexibility and systemic efficiency. These capabilities are not merely enhancements; they are foundational pillars of a modernised, low carbon energy economy. Our mission is to architect a truly sustainable energy system one that is dynamic, discerning and purpose built to empower the next generation of decarbonised progress."
