About half of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa are facing an energy crisis evidenced by rolling blackouts. Although the African continent is well endowed both with fossil fuels and renewable resources, only about 25% of the population have access to electricity compared with about 40% in other middle income countries.
The effective development and use of energy sources and associated infrastructure is essential to create the enabling environment for commerce and industry, which is necessary to spur economic growth and improve social well being. We offer services to deliver optimal solutions to solving the energy challenges with a commitment to sustainability.
Our capabilities include advising on policy, institutional development, energy technology and regulation. We join up technical, financial, commercial and planning expertise to help clients make informed plans and take decisive action to deal with their energy challenges. Our skills also enable us to assess the viability of generating power from fossil fuels or renewable sources.
We are also able to work with national and regional network operators, investors, developers and funders to create bespoke solutions for electricity transmission and distribution. Covering all stages of the project cycle, we also support during the construction and operations stages to help the operators optimise their investments and deliver the required quality of service.
The energy and utilities sector is seeing unprecedented change with massive investment needed to address supply security, demand for growth and climate change. None of these can be tackled in isolation and government and the private sector companies must balance the potential benefits with the capital outlay.
Energy use and conservation are at the forefront of the sustainability challenge, with renewable energies gaining increasing credibility as markets around the globe begin to invest in viable industries in this space. We are able to provide innovative high-value advisory services to harness alternative sources of energy such as wind, solar and hydro.
