We're building a company AND A SECTOR

In addition to our day-to-day work of building renewable energy projects and bringing energy to unelectrified communities, our team invests significant time towards building the overall sector for private utilities in Africa.

PowerGen led the creation of the Africa Microgrid Developers Association (AMDA) and is a frequent contributor to publications throughout the sector.

Our goal is for PowerGen to serve as an example to unlock an entire sector for new utilities in Africa.
