Driving Africa’s Just Energy Transition
The African continent continues to be one of the world’s fastest-growing economic hubs, and prioritising the improvement of Africa’s energy supply is key to unlocking further growth. As a bank that’s at the forefront of energy transition, we are committed to partnering with businesses and other relevant stakeholders to ensure we find the right energy solutions to improve and drive Africa’s growth. We have deep sector expertise and use our insights to support energy projects focusing on clean technologies, providing tailored finance solutions across the value chain.
The continued development of energy infrastructure will result in increased productivity and economic activity for the continent and, as such, our commitment to playing a pivotal role in facilitating the Just Energy Transition in Africa. Standard Bank is a proud sponsor of the annual Africa Energy Forum, and we look forward to engaging 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.
