The A Energy Company (TAEC) was born from a simple but powerful belief: Power Africa's vital work of electrifying Africa must continue. When critical energy development programs faced uncertainty, our team of former USAID and Power Africa professionals came together to ensure this essential mission would endure.
We bring the professionalism of development best practices without the bureaucracy. Applying our African and international experience, we deliver technical assistance, transaction advisory, corporate social responsibility, and certification services that get results.
We know that with reliable electricity, everything becomes possible – and turning that possibility into reality is exactly what we do.

The A Energy Company continues Power Africa's vital mission by delivering comprehensive expertise, analysis, training, and tailored solutions across energy generation, transmission, distribution, access, investment, and community benefit. Why? Because we believe that with (even just a little bit of) reliable electricity, everything becomes possible.
Our technical assistance builds lasting capacity in individuals, organisations, and institutions throughout Africa. We bring the professionalism of development best practices, providing hands-on support in:
Policy and regulatory development that attracts investment while protecting consumers
Project planning and financing that gets results
Technology assessment and deployment tailored to local contexts
Workforce development that empowers people and drives economic opportunity
Integration of women and marginalised groups into projects to ensure equitable benefits in productive use of energy, renewable energy supply chains, and employment opportunities

Every project is customised to its unique context because we understand that effective solutions respect local knowledge while leveraging international expertise. We listen to stakeholders and use our African and international experience to design approaches that actually work.
Our goal is simple but transformative: sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy systems that unlock economic growth and improve quality of life.
The A Energy Company provides transaction advisory services across Africa, guiding clients from project initiation to completion. We believe that with reliable electricity, everything becomes possible. Getting projects financed and built is where that possibility becomes reality.
We are trusted advisors to governments, state-owned enterprises, and private sector companies in the energy and mining sectors, helping them structure deals, raise capital, and navigate complex financial and regulatory landscapes.
Applying our African and international experience, we bring the professionalism of development best practices without the bureaucracy providing:
Legal and Regulatory Support: Assessing legal, tax, and regulatory risks for energy project development
Financing Solutions: Structuring capital-raising strategies, including public-private partnerships and blended finance
Financial Modeling: Producing detailed cash flow projections and sensitivity analyses (irradiance, CAPEX, tariff fluctuations)
Tariff Design and Negotiation: Creating revenue-aligned tariff structures and negotiating favorable terms
Risk Mitigation: Developing strategies for performance guarantees, political risk coverage or government letters of support, and supply chain and geopolitical resilience
Bankability Assessments: Evaluating project readiness based on investor and development finance institution requirements
With deep industry expertise, local knowledge, and strong stakeholder relationships, we help clients structure viable, bankable projects. Projects that will advance sustainable energy development. Projects that will increase reliable energy access and unlock economic development. Projects that will improve lives.
Mining represents both a major investment and a critical opportunity for local communities.
When managed responsibly, mines can deliver lasting benefits through improved infrastructure, direct and indirect employment, and community development programs. We believe that sustainable development creates value for everyone.
The A Energy Company takes a development-focused approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR), grounded in evidence and stakeholder engagement. Applying our African and international experience, we bring the professionalism of development best practices without the bureaucracy. We conduct community consultations, baseline studies, and regular monitoring to ensure initiatives respond to local needs and deliver measurable results. We also collaborate with development agencies and investors to create economic opportunities in sectors connected to mining.
Transparent communication is central to our approach. Communities must understand the benefits they receive for those benefits to strengthen relationships. Sharing CSR results also builds trust with governments, investors, lenders, and future partners, enhancing reputational standing, and paving the way for smoother project development.
Our objectives are clear:
Communities should be demonstrably better off with the mine than without it.
Relationships with stakeholders should generate positive outcomes for all parties.
By leveraging our experience and networks, we help companies create tangible, sustainable value that improves quality of life in communities around mines, while strengthening business outcomes.
Meeting rising environmental, social, and governance (ESG) expectations demands integrated, responsible business practices. The A Energy Company brings extensive experience in environmental compliance, corporate social responsibility, and green energy solutions, enabling clients to navigate this landscape with confidence and embed genuine environmental and social stewardship into their operations.
Applying our African and international experience, we bring the professionalism of development best practices to ESG compliance. We assess current practices, identify gaps, and guide companies toward appropriate certifications such as ISO 14001, B Corp, or Fair Trade. Our approach respects local contexts while meeting international standards.
Beyond certification, we support the design of robust policies, environmental management systems, stakeholder engagement plans, and performance monitoring frameworks. We believe that authentic sustainability creates lasting value for businesses and communities alike.
Our goal is to build ESG strategies that enhance environmental stewardship, ethical accountability, and long-term competitiveness. By aligning operations with global best practices, companies not only mitigate risks but also unlock reputational and commercial advantages while improving quality of life for those living in the communities in which these companies operate.
