What We Do

Five Pillars. One Integrated Platform.

IEA delivers end-to-end energy solutions across five strategic business pillars each designed to meet clients where they are and take them where they need to go.

01

Energy Advisory

Strategy before structure. Insight before investment.

Our advisory practice provides the analytical rigour and commercial intelligence that underpins every successful energy project. We work with corporates, developers, governments, and financiers to navigate the complexity of African energy markets.

Core Capabilities

Energy Feasibility & Due Diligence

Technical, commercial, and financial feasibility studies for greenfield and brownfield energy projects.

Project Structuring & Bankability

Structuring projects to meet lender and investor requirements from term sheets to financial close.

Regulatory & Market Navigation

Licensing, permitting, and regulatory strategy across multiple African jurisdictions.

Energy Procurement Strategy

Designing optimal procurement frameworks for large energy consumers and utilities.

02

Infrastructure & Asset Management

Build it right. Run it better. Maximise its value.

We develop, finance, and manage energy infrastructure assets across Africa — from early-stage development through to long-term operations. Our integrated approach ensures assets perform to their full potential throughout their lifecycle.

Core Capabilities

Project Development

End-to-end development of generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure.

Asset Financing & Capital Raising

Debt and equity structuring, blended finance, and DFI engagement for energy assets.

Operations & Maintenance

Performance-based O&M services that maximise uptime, efficiency, and asset longevity.

Portfolio Management

Active management of energy asset portfolios for institutional investors and developers.

03

Energy-as-a-Service

No capital. No complexity. Just energy.

EaaS removes the barriers to clean, reliable energy for businesses across Africa. We design, finance, build, and operate energy solutions on behalf of our clients — who simply pay for the energy they consume.

Core Capabilities

Behind-the-Meter Solutions

On-site generation, storage, and efficiency solutions with zero capital outlay for the client.

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)

Long-term PPAs that deliver price certainty and supply security for energy consumers.

Managed Energy Services

Full-service energy management including monitoring, optimisation, and reporting.

Hybrid & Storage Systems

Integrated solar, wind, battery, and backup systems tailored to each client's load profile.

04

Energy Markets & Trading

Access. Liquidity. Structured solutions.

As African energy markets liberalise, IEA provides the market access, trading expertise, and structured solutions that allow clients to buy, sell, and hedge energy with confidence.

05

Carbon & Environmental Markets

Monetise the environmental value of clean energy.

Africa's clean energy transition generates significant environmental value. IEA helps project developers, asset owners, and corporates originate, verify, and trade carbon credits and other environmental instruments.
