Over the next 3 days in Lagos, Nigeria, several CEI Africa representatives from Triple Jump, Persistent and GreenMax Capital Group will be attending the Alliance for Rural Electrification Energy Access Investment Forum (EAIF 2024). Bärbel Höhn, the current Energy Commissioner for Africa at the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) mentioned that CEI Africa is an important example of the German government’s support for the energy access sector, and is unique because of its approach in blending funding from private investors, subsidies and local energy access companies.
