Africa is the most challenging continent when it comes to access to electricity. However, this vast growth potential for the Group should be understood in the context of this continent’s special features. In practice, the greater part of the investments are financed by international backers such as the World Bank, the African Development Bank, the European Union or the French Development Agency, and they should represent 250 million dollars over the next 10 years. Funds allocated to electrical power distribution are no longer intended only for grid operators to purchase equipment, but also benefit the financing of turnkey rural electrification projects such as off-grid photovoltaic facilities.

The key players in this market are therefore becoming the local and international installers seeking manufacturing partners able to put forward the most complete competitive offer, thus limiting the constraints of logistics and financial organisations.

With the goal of meeting these needs, the SICAME Group (through SICAMEX, its export arm) offers its customers access the all the Group’s ranges. The aim is to supply all the products needed to construct overheard and underground HV-A/LV lines, including the equipment and other resources for implementation (PPE, tools, training, etc.).

Competitiveness, proximity, responsiveness and support are all advantages for the success of our growth in Africa.
