Genser Energy Investments LLC has secured a €456 million term and revolving credit facilities package as the West African energy infrastructure company moves to complete ongoing projects and expand its integrated gas-to-power platform across the region.
The financing was arranged by FirstRand Bank Limited through its Rand Merchant Bank division, Absa Bank Limited through its Corporate and Investment Banking division, and the Standard Bank of South Africa Limited through its Corporate and Investment Banking division, according to Genser Energy’s financing announcement.
Genser said the facilities will provide working capital to support the completion of ongoing engineering, procurement and construction projects, strengthen its balance sheet and give the company additional financial flexibility for its strategic priorities and continued growth.
The transaction gives Genser additional capacity at a time when the company is investing in major gas and power infrastructure in Ghana while extending its footprint into Côte d’Ivoire and other West African markets.
Building on earlier financing
The €456 million package follows significant financing raised by Genser in recent years. The company said the latest transaction builds on Genser Energy Ghana’s $428 million corporate refinancing and a €200 million equipment loan facility for Genser Energy d’Ivoire completed in 2025.
Genser’s own corporate history shows a longer financing track record supporting its infrastructure build-out. Previous facilities included a $366 million senior loan in 2019 for power plants and pipelines and a $425 million package in 2022 to finance the Prestea Gas Conditioning Plant, pipeline infrastructure and the Takoradi natural gas liquids terminal.
The latest financing therefore sits within a broader strategy of using long-term institutional capital to build infrastructure serving industrial customers and energy markets.
Ghana remains at the centre of the platform
Founded in 2006, Genser has developed an integrated energy business spanning power generation, natural gas transportation and midstream infrastructure. The company says it has more than 334 MW of installed generation capacity and owns and operates a 436-kilometre privately developed natural gas pipeline network across Ghana.
That infrastructure supports industrial energy users, including mining operations, while also creating a platform for wider regional supply. Standard Bank’s recent assessment of Ghana’s natural-gas infrastructure says financing for Genser’s pipeline network has helped support industrial clients and notes that the company’s energy activities have extended beyond Ghana through exports to Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire.
Genser expects to commission its Gas Conditioning Plant and the Takoradi Natural Gas Liquids Export Terminal later in 2026. These projects are intended to deepen the company’s midstream operations alongside its existing generation and pipeline assets.
Expansion beyond Ghana
The financing also comes as Genser advances its expansion into Côte d’Ivoire. The company has established an Ivorian business and is developing its regional project pipeline as it seeks to replicate elements of its integrated gas-to-power model outside Ghana.
For West Africa, the transaction is significant beyond the size of the facility itself. Energy infrastructure projects typically require large amounts of long-term capital before they can generate returns, making access to bank financing an important part of expanding generation, gas transportation and industrial energy capacity.
Independent reporting has also confirmed the financing. ChannelOne News reported that the package comprises term and revolving facilities arranged by RMB, Absa and Standard Bank and is intended to support ongoing projects and Genser’s regional growth.
Genser CEO Baafour Asiamah-Adjei said the company remains focused on investing in large-scale infrastructure that can deliver reliable energy, support industry and create long-term value in the markets where it operates.
With the new financing in place, attention will now turn to the completion of Genser’s current Ghana projects and the pace at which the company can translate its strengthened balance sheet into additional infrastructure across West Africa.
