Through a deal made between both companies, EREN will earn an equity stake in Access, as well as a seat at Access’ board.

David Corchia, CEO of EREN, said: “Access Infra Africa perfectly illustrates EREN’s strategy of developing renewable projects in areas of the world where renewable energy represents a competitive answer to growing local energy needs, such as Africa. We are thrilled to bring our global expertise in the field of renewable energy to Access’ world-class team and strong regional presence.”

Reda El Chaar, chairman of Access, added: “Africa’s energy sector and wider economy could be transformed by the billions of dollars of financing available for Africa.   However, this funding cannot have an impact without well-resourced and experienced developers willing to take early-stage project risk and turn good concepts into bankable projects.”
