Your invitation to Steer the Future
Over the past few years, several African countries have sparked change in their grid infrastructure and electricity generation by involving the private sector.
Only about 57% of the people in Africa have access to electricity, the vast majority of them in sub-Saharan Africa. To meet the United Nations goal of everyone having access to affordable electricity by 2030, African countries will need to rapidly expand electricity generation.
In 2025, Standard Bank saw Africa’s shift toward renewable energy financing outpace non-renewable energy by an 8:1 ratio. Reflecting this trend, even Eskom, which has traditionally relied on coal, has launched a new business unit focused on developing utility-scale renewable energy projects. With this momentum, the financial institution is energised to finance the continent’s clean energy boom.
As the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran pushes up diesel prices and Eskom increases its electricity tariffs, renewable energy is a good option for many businesses looking to reduce costs and increase energy reliability. Right on time, CrossBoundary Energy has secured a $40m investment to fast-track commercial and industrial (C&I) renewable energy solutions throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
