Work on our solar-powered electric station is moving steadily forward, marking an exciting phase in the development of this landmark project. The mounting structures and solar panels have now been successfully installed, representing a major milestone and a clear sign of the progress being made on site. Each step brings us closer to the launch of Africa’s largest solar-powered EV charging station, a facility designed to set new standards for sustainable infrastructure on the continent.

This achievement reflects our strong commitment to clean, renewable energy and sustainable mobility solutions. It also highlights the power of collaboration, technical expertise, and innovation, as our teams work together to transform a bold vision into a tangible reality. From careful planning to on-site execution, every stage of the project demonstrates our determination to support a greener future and accelerate the transition to electric mobility.

Growth Energy, lauréat Provence Africa Connect : l’énergie d’un pont entre deux continents

Porté par l’énergie et la conviction de son cofondateur et directeur général, John Okoro, Growth Energy écrit une belle histoire entre la Provence et l’Afrique. Lauréat du Prix Provence Africa Connect 2024, John œuvre depuis le sud de la France pour relever l’un des plus grands défis du continent : donner accès à une énergie propre et abordable.

Depuis la Provence, l’entreprise conçoit et déploie des centrales solaires sur mesure pour les industries africaines. Grâce à un modèle de financement innovant, les entreprises locales peuvent produire leur propre électricité sans supporter d’investissement initial — tout en réduisant leurs coûts et leurs émissions carbone.

Présente déjà au Burundi, à Zanzibar, au Kenya et au Nigeria, Growth Energy incarne un engagement concret : celui de faire rimer innovation, impact et solidarité.

Le Prix Provence Africa Connect a été un véritable tremplin pour l’entreprise, lui offrant visibilité, nouvelles collaborations et reconnaissance dans l’écosystème international de l’énergie durable.

“On peut être ici, en Provence, et avoir un impact à 10 000 km.” – John Okoro
