Finding solutions for Africa’s sustainable energy transition
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 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 with expertise in the energy sector, we remain committed to driving sustainable and inclusive economic progress by partnering with clients such as Scatec, Seriti, EDF Renewables and Red Rocket to find the right solutions and support them in their sustainability journey.
We participated in the annual Africa Energy Indaba in Cape Town from 7 to 9 March 2023, where we shared our perspectives and contributed to discussions and solutions to enable adequate energy generation and shape the energy policy across Africa.
