AMEA Power, a leading player in Africa’s energy transition, said in its Sustainability Report 2024 (released October 2025) that 77.5% of its total energy portfolio is located in Africa, representing 4.14 GW of capacity that is operational, under construction, or in advanced development out of a global 5.34 GW.
The Dubai-based company’s African portfolio includes solar, wind, and storage projects across four regions of the continent. In North Africa, AMEA Power has 2,840 MW and 900 MWh of storage capacity in Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt, where it is developing several large-scale projects. In West Africa, its projects total 427 MW, including the Blitta solar plant in Togo and initiatives in Mauritania and Burkina Faso. The firm also operates in East Africa (478 MW in Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti, and Uganda) and in Southern Africa (395 MW in Mozambique, South Africa, and Angola).
The report shows that by the end of 2024, AMEA Power had 1,790.6 MW of capacity either under construction or in operation, with existing projects helping to avoid 332,428 tons of CO₂ emissions that year. The company’s rapid growth is supported by an integrated model covering the full project lifecycle, from development to maintenance.
This expansion aligns with a 4.5 billion dirham (about $1.225 billion) financing initiative announced by the United Arab Emirates at COP28 to support clean-energy projects in Africa. The program brings together the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, Masdar, AMEA Power, and the Export Credit Insurance Company, working with the Africa50 fund. Its goal is to deliver 15 GW of clean energy across the continent by 2030, strengthening Africa’s ability to sustain growth and narrowing the climate-finance gap.
AMEA Power’s strategy reflects Abu Dhabi’s effort to mobilize its institutions and companies to accelerate the energy transition in developing countries and promote durable partnerships.
