South Africa: Cenfura joint venture to develop mini-grids

Energy developer Cenfura has announced a joint venture with London-based DNA Global Energy to develop energy projects across Africa. The agreement is primarily a financial one which will extend Cenfura’s line of credit for project developments across the continent. The joint venture’s first project will be 14 solar PV mini-grid systems in South Africa which will be jointly developed and owned by both companies, Cenfura’s chairman and founder Pasi Nieminen told African Energy.
