Africa GreenCo

Africa GreenCo Group, through its operating entity GreenCo Power Services Limited, acts as an intermediary offtaker and service provider in the Southern African power market. The company purchases electricity from renewable Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and sells it to utilities, as well as commercial and industrial users. By doing so, GreenCo aims to transform the power markets in Southern Africa into a dynamic multi-seller, multi-buyer model, mitigating the risk of purchaser default by securing alternative buyers or engaging in short-term trading on the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) electricity markets.

GreenCo's business model focuses on addressing the challenges faced by national utilities and reducing the financial burden on governments in providing guarantees for their national obligations to IPPs. The company serves a diverse range of clients, including utilities, commercial entities, and industrial consumers who are seeking reliable and clean sources of power.

GreenCo generates revenue by acting as a middleman in the energy market, purchasing power from renewable energy producers and selling it to end-users. This model not only supports the growth of renewable energy projects in the region but also enhances the stability and efficiency of the power market.

Key personnel include Kasuba, a seasoned banker with extensive experience in financial risk management, and Jon Carrick, an investment professional with a strong background in development finance initiatives.
