Energy solutions in Africa require an in-depth understanding of an individual country’s requirements, the available resources and which available technologies will offer the most cost effective solution with an acceptable return on investment. The shortage and availability of energy at cost competitive prices as well as the lack of electrical generation and supporting electrical infrastructure is becoming a significant factor inhibiting project development in Africa. Offering cost effective and reliable integrated energy solutions is key to attracting more investment, which in turn, will support the growth of energy on the continent. Zest WEG Group’s focus is to respond to these challenges by delivering custom-engineered, integrated energy solutions, through direct access to technology and skill as well as in-depth knowledge of the African market
