Founded in 2006, Genser Energy has built a successful integrated energy business serving industrial customers and utilities across West Africa. Prior to Oppenheimer Partners’ investment in 2021, the company had established a robust customer base, developed significant energy infrastructure assets (5 operating power plants and 325km of natural gas pipeline), and built a proven track record of supporting industrial development and economic growth. Throughout Oppenheimer Partners’ investment period, Genser Energy continued executing its long-term strategy, expanding its infrastructure (adding 110km of natural gas pipeline and building a 200mmscfd Gas Conditioning Plant in Prestea), and entering Côte d’Ivoire via cross-border power

Why Industrial Energy Infrastructure Matters for Africa’s Growth Agenda

As African economies pursue industrialisation, the conversation around energy infrastructure is increasingly shifting beyond electricity access towards industrial competitiveness, manufacturing growth and economic resilience. Reliable energy supply is becoming a critical requirement for mining, processing industries and value-added production, particularly in resource-rich economies seeking to capture greater value from their natural resources.

In an interview with Energy News Network (ENN), Greg Fyfe, Chief Investment Officer at DBSA, discusses the strategic importance of Ghana’s Kumasi Pipeline project, the role energy infrastructure plays in strengthening investor confidence and industrial productivity, and what catalytic financing looks like in practice when delivering large-scale infrastructure projects across the continent.

Ghana’s midstream momentum builds as Genser Energy’s 135-mmscfd gas plant nears operation

Ghana’s midstream gas sector is set to receive a major boost as Genser Energy edges closer to commissioning its 135 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) Gas Conditioning Plant (GCP), aimed at transforming local gas processing, enhancing energy reliability and creating new export opportunities.

The plant, located in Prestea in the Western Region, is in the final stages of construction, with full operationalization expected in the coming months. Mr. Francois Esterhuizen, GCP Plant Manager, told the Business & Financial Times in an exclusive interview that the project, which began construction three years ago, is about 95 percent complete.

“The last remaining works involve power plant installation and some final commissioning activities. We plan to start the commissioning from the beginning of April, targeting 50 percent operations by June, gradually building up to full capacity by August, 2026,” he said.
