Power and Infrastructure Sector
Finding solutions for Africa’s sustainable energy transition
We are one of the largest banks in Africa, with on-the-ground presence in 20 countries and deep expertise in the energy and infrastructure sector. In response to climate change, countries have made commitments towards net zero and finding new pathways to introduce more bold targets towards renewable energy and other transition fuels. Africa’s energy sector is critical to accelerating the continent’s Just Energy Transition and unlocking further growth not only for the economy but also for the broader community.
As a bank that is at the forefront of the energy transition, we remain committed to driving sustainable and inclusive economic progress by partnering with clients such as Red Rocket, EDF Renewables, PAIDF 2, Anergi, Tronox, Seriti, Scatec, Genser and Kesses to find the right solutions and support them in their sustainability journey. Our plan to launch a renewable energy fund will further accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels in the 20 African nations in which we have a presence.
Standard Bank is also a proud sponsor of the annual Africa Energy Forum which took place in Nairobi Kenya from 20 to 23 June 2023. We engaged in discussions about the role that we will play in ensuring the successful facilitation of the Just Energy Transition that benefits the social, environmental, and economic futures of African citizens.
