About Us
Globeleq is powering Africa’s growth by developing and operating utility-scale power plants.
Founded in 2002, Globeleq has been a power industry leader, owning, developing, operating or acquiring interests in multiple power facilities worldwide. In 2015, Globeleq chose to solely focus on the African continent. By implementing various generation technologies in different geographic locations, Globeleq has a unique perspective and strong foundation for developing new capacity and building a sustainable portfolio of energy projects.
Globeleq aims to be the trusted, reliable, and committed partner of choice within the African private power industry. To achieve this, we are continuing to add MWs of new power generation, with a focus on the energy transition to cleaner energy sources. In addition, through our country and community operations, Globeleq significantly contributes to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
With the support and expertise of our staff operating out of our London head office, our regional offices in Abidjan, Cairo, Cape Town, Douala, Johannesburg, Maputo, Nairobi and Lusaka and our 17 power plants located in Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Kenya, Mozambique, Zambia and South Africa we currently generate 1,604MW; with 665 MW under construction and more than 2,000 MW in development. Globeleq has an experienced management team with an on-the-ground presence and a full suite of world-class in-house expertise across multiple technologies.
