Expanding Horizons: Infinity Power’s $2 Billion Investment in Cameroon

Saturday, October 04, 2025

While Egypt anchors Infinity Power’s flagship operations, the company’s expansion strategy reaches across the continent. In Cameroon, Infinity Power is preparing to raise $2 billion to develop smaller-scale renewable projects that together will deliver up to 4 gigawatts of clean energy.

These projects combining solar, wind, battery storage and biomass facilities will be distributed across Western Cameroon, with each site designed to match local grid capacity and community needs. Infinity Power aims to ensure stable integration and reduce pressure on regional grids by structuring projects at a manageable scale (around 50 megawatts for solar and 100 megawatts for wind).

This decentralized approach represents a forward-thinking model for African markets where energy infrastructure varies widely. It also supports the growing trend of regional power pools, cooperative frameworks that allow countries to trade electricity across borders. As more nations interconnect their systems, opportunities for transnational renewable investment are multiplying, making Africa one of the world’s most dynamic frontiers for clean energy growth.

Infinity Power’s expansion isn’t limited to new markets. The company is also deepening its footprint in South Africa, one of the continent’s most advanced renewable economies. Following the acquisition of Lekela Power, valued at approximately $1 billion, Infinity Power became the sole owner of a leading portfolio of wind assets.

Currently, the company operates five major wind projects in South Africa and is studying more than ten new potential sites across different provinces. These efforts come amid a complex energy environment, as South Africa works to stabilize its electricity supply and address longstanding infrastructure challenges.

As our Chairman,Mr. Mohamed Ismail Mansour noted in a recent article in Bloomberg, operating in South Africa has been “a learning curve,” particularly given the evolving role of the national utility, Eskom. However, diversifying across multiple regions and technologies allows Infinity Power to build resilience into its portfolio, reinforcing its commitment to long-term, sustainable growth.

From North to South and across Central Africa, Infinity Power’s approach is rooted in one belief: that Africa’s energy independence will be built through innovation, scale, and collaboration. The company’s target of reaching 10 gigawatts of installed capacity by 2030 reflects both ambition and confidence in the continent’s potential to lead in the global renewable transition.
