Gigawatt Global

Gigawatt Global Coöperatief U.A. is a multinational renewable energy company developing and managing utility-scale renewable energy fields in emerging markets, focused on Sub-Sahara Africa and the Middle East.

With over 1000 MW of renewable energy projects in our pipeline, Gigawatt Global brings extensive experience in all aspects of project finance and development - for solar, wind and hydro. The company built the first utility-scale solar field in Sub-Sahara Africa, in Rwanda, in 2014, and completed Burundi's first field in 2021 - already providing over 10% of the country's electricity. Having initiated the solar power industry in Israel with the Arava Power Company, Gigawatt's team has developed 15 fields on three continents, and the company has projects under way in S. Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Liberia, Nigeria, Mozambique, Comoros and other countries across the region, as well as in Gaza, the Palestinian Authority and more.
Gigawatt Global is committed to accelerating energy sustainability and independence in each local region it operates. In pursuit of this goal, Gigawatt Global’s strategy is to partner with financial partners, governments, development groups and institutions to structure profitable, sustainable and socially responsible investments.
Domiciled in the Netherlands, with offices and presence in Jerusalem, Burundi, Ethiopia, Nigeria, S. Sudan, London and elsewhere, Gigawatt Global is looking to replicate its success across these regions and to scale to become an independent power producer as the leading renewable energy platform for Africa, the Middle East, and emerging markets worldwide.
Unique in its position at the nexus of Israel, Europe, the US, the Middle East and Africa, Gigawatt Global has long-standing relationships with the World Bank, US DFC, FMO, Norfund, InfraCo, IFC and many other DFIs supportive of our renewable energy projects in the least developed and most challenging countries - which are also the most needy communities on the planet. Gigawatt Global is proud to have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, including in 2022 by leaders of 12 African nations.
