Our Impact
At Globeleq, we power Africa’s growth by delivering reliable, affordable electricity to homes, businesses and industries across the continent. As we expand access to energy, we remain committed to protecting the environment, creating lasting value for the communities around our operations, while generating sustainable returns for our shareholders and partners.
Lasting impact starts with strong relationships. Through ongoing engagement with communities and stakeholders, we identify the areas where we can create sustainable impact. Our social investment programmes focus on education, health, skills development, income generation and climate resilience, creating opportunities that continue to benefit communities long after our projects are built.
Electricity
Africa continues to face a significant energy access challenge, with hundreds of millions of people still lacking reliable electricity. Globeleq is one of Africa’s leading independent power companies, developing, owning and operating power generation and energy infrastructure that supports economic growth, job creation and improved quality of life across the continent.
For more than two decades, we have been investing in Africa’s power sector, building a diverse portfolio that includes utility scale renewable energy, flexible gas fired generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and transmission infrastructure. Our focus is on delivering reliable, affordable and cleaner energy solutions that strengthen electricity networks and support Africa’s transition to a lower carbon future.
With deep local knowledge and international expertise, our multidisciplinary team manages projects throughout their full lifecycle, from development and financing through to construction, operations and asset optimisation. Beyond generating electricity, we are committed to creating lasting value through local procurement, job creation, skills development and targeted community investment. Guided by a strong commitment to safety, environmental stewardship and responsible business practices, we are helping to power Africa’s growth while building a more sustainable energy future.
SED Investment
We believe education is one of the most effective ways to drive sustainable socio-economic development. By improving access to learning, skills development and future opportunities, education ensures that individuals, families and communities thrive. For this reason, education is a key focus of our social investment programmes, alongside health, income generation and climate resilience initiatives. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and shaped by regular engagement with local communities, our investments are designed to address local needs and create lasting, positive change

Protecting the environment is a core part of how we develop, build and operate our power plants. The health of our communities is closely linked to the health of the environment around them and we are committed to minimising the environmental impact of our projects and operations, strengthening the resilience of our assets to climate change, and creating long-term value for the communities and ecosystems around them.
Our Sustainability Integrated Management System is aligned with the ISO 14001 standard, and most of our operating plants have been certified to this standard. We also seek opportunities to deliver positive environmental and biodiversity outcomes through responsible environmental stewardship, impact management, and continuous improvement of operations using Artificial Intelligence and the latest technological advancements.
To support a lower-carbon future, our renewable energy assets are expected to avoid an estimated 19.35 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent over their lifetime, with additional renewable energy projects under development. We assess climate-related risks across our portfolio, screening all existing plants for climate resilience and conducting climate risk assessments as part of our project development process.
