Côte d’Ivoire: Market eyes Eranove assets

The Ivorian electricity supply sector has a substantial history of private sector development that is being eyed by potential entrants and existing players looking for investment opportunities in sub-Saharan generation and distribution. An eventual exit by US-headquartered private equity firm Emerging Capital Partners (ECP) from Paris-based holding company Eranove (formerly Finagestion) is one potential deal that is stimulating investor interest – even though, as yet, ECP has not indicated its plans for the asset.
