Africa50 and AMEA Power have joined forces to co-develop and invest in solar power plants across five key African countries. This strategic partnership, announced at COP28 in Dubai, aims to illuminate the continent’s future with clean, renewable energy.
Sun-Kissed Partnership:
Africa50, the infrastructure investment platform backed by the African Development Bank and African governments, will join hands with AMEA Power, a leading Dubai-based independent power producer (IPP). Together, they will co-develop solar photovoltaic power plants in Senegal, Tunisia, Burkina Faso, Togo, and Chad. This commitment signifies a significant investment in Africa’s energy sector, paving the way for brighter days powered by the sun.
Beyond Borders:

Africa50’s Guiding Light:
Africa50’s role in this partnership goes beyond mere investment. The platform leverages its expertise in developing and financing bankable projects to catalyze public sector capital and mobilize private sector funding. This unique approach ensures differentiated financial returns while maximizing impact, driving sustainable development through clean energy solutions.
Shared Vision, Tangible Results:
The partnership between Africa50 and AMEA Power embodies a shared vision of a brighter, more sustainable future for Africa. By harnessing the power of the sun, they aim to not only illuminate homes and businesses but also empower communities, drive economic growth, and combat climate change.
A Call to Action:
This groundbreaking partnership is a testament to the collective power of collaboration and innovation in achieving Africa’s energy transition goals. It serves as a call to action for other stakeholders, governments, and businesses to join forces and invest in renewable energy solutions that will light the path towards a brighter future for all Africans.
