Ducab has further strengthened its presence in Africa with its first supply of 220kV high-voltage (HV) cables to Senegal, marking the 23rd African country in its growing portfolio.
This delivery is a critical part of Dakar’s electrification project, aimed at upgrading the power infrastructure of Senegal’s capital to meet increasing energy demands.
This delivery supports Senegal’s ambitious target of achieving universal electricity access by 2026, significantly enhancing its energy capacity and driving the urban development of Dakar. The project underscores Ducab’s commitment to delivering advanced solutions for Africa’s rapidly evolving energy infrastructure.
Growth strategy
The Group’s entry into Senegal is part of its broader growth strategy in Africa, where the company already exports to 23 African countries, including Angola, South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Egypt.
With operations spanning 75 global markets, Ducab’s growing footprint in Africa highlights its commitment to supporting critical infrastructure projects throughout the continent.
This expansion is aligned with the UAE’s recent US$ 4.5bn pledge to fund renewable energy initiatives in Africa, reflecting a shared commitment to sustainable development and energy transformation.
“Our growing presence in key African markets, like Senegal, reflects the value we bring to the continent’s infrastructure development and aligns with the UAE’s broader efforts to deepen economic ties with Africa,” reiterated Charles Mellagui, CEO, Ducab Cables Business.
