Energy & Environment
Driving clean energy and environmental initiatives.
1. Industry Overview
The Energy & Environment sector is at the forefront of Africa’s sustainable development—balancing growing power demand, environmental protection, and the transition to low‑carbon systems. At Growth & Investment Agencies Ltd, we enable utilities, project developers, and environmental service providers to secure capital, navigate complex regulations, and deploy impact‑driven solutions that power growth and protect ecosystems.
