Genser Energy Investments LLC has secured a €456 million financing package to support major energy infrastructure projects and accelerate its expansion across West Africa. The term and revolving credit facilities were arranged by FirstRand Bank through its Rand Merchant Bank division, Absa Bank and Standard Bank of South Africa.
The financing will provide working capital for ongoing engineering, procurement and construction projects, strengthen Genser’s balance sheet and give the company additional financial flexibility. It comes as Genser expands beyond its established Ghanaian operations, including through a major new power project in Côte d’Ivoire.
Key Overview
- Genser Energy has secured €456 million through term and revolving credit facilities.
- RMB, Absa and Standard Bank arranged the financing, supporting ongoing EPC projects and future growth.
- The capital will strengthen Genser’s balance sheet while providing working capital for infrastructure still under construction.
- Genser is expanding in Côte d’Ivoire, where a concession has been approved for a proposed 470 MW combined-cycle power plant.
- Two major Ghanaian midstream projects, the Gas Conditioning Plant and Takoradi Natural Gas Liquids Export Terminal, are expected to be commissioned later in 2026.
- The latest deal follows major 2025 financings covering Genser’s Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire businesses.
€456 Million Facility Supports Genser’s Next Growth Phase
The new financing gives Genser additional capital at a time when the company is simultaneously completing major infrastructure and entering new regional markets. The package was structured to fund the completion of ongoing EPC works while increasing financial flexibility for other strategic priorities.
Genser has developed an integrated energy platform combining power generation, natural gas transportation and midstream infrastructure. It has installed more than 334 MW of generation capacity and operates a natural gas pipeline network extending more than 430 kilometres across Ghana, creating infrastructure that connects gas supply with industrial users and power-generation assets.
The €456 million transaction also deepens Genser’s relationships with major African financial institutions. Standard Bank acted as a mandated lead arranger, lender and facility agent, while RMB and Absa also participated in arranging the package.
The facility follows a series of major financing transactions completed in 2025. These included a $428 million corporate refinancing for Genser Energy Ghana and a €200 million equipment loan facility for Genser Energy Côte d’Ivoire, providing a financing base for the company’s wider integrated gas-to-power strategy.
Côte d’Ivoire Becomes Central to Regional Expansion
Côte d’Ivoire is emerging as a particularly important part of Genser’s regional growth strategy. On August 5, the Ivorian government approved a concession agreement covering the design, financing, construction, ownership, operation and eventual transfer of a 470 MW combined-cycle thermal power plant in Taboth.
The project forms part of a wider package of new generation capacity approved by the government in response to growing electricity demand. Together with two other private power projects, the approvals cover approximately 735 MW of proposed new thermal generation capacity.
For Genser, the Taboth project represents a significant step beyond Ghana and demonstrates how the new financing could support a broader West African infrastructure platform. The company already participates in cross-border power exports and has identified Côte d’Ivoire and other regional markets as priorities for future investment.

Ghana Infrastructure Projects Move Toward Commissioning
Despite the regional expansion, Ghana remains central to Genser’s investment programme. The company expects to commission its Gas Conditioning Plant and the Takoradi Natural Gas Liquids Export Terminal later in 2026, two projects intended to deepen its presence in the midstream gas market.
The Gas Conditioning Plant in Prestea is designed to process and stabilise natural gas before it enters Genser’s pipeline and power-generation network. The facility is intended to improve control over gas quality and strengthen the reliability of fuel supply across the company’s integrated infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the Takoradi Natural Gas Liquids Export Terminal is being developed as a storage and export facility for natural gas liquids. The terminal includes cryogenic storage infrastructure for propane and butane and is designed to support Genser’s growing midstream and logistics operations.
Financing Follows Major Shareholder Transition
The new debt package also comes shortly after a significant change in Genser’s ownership structure. In July, the company completed the redemption of Oppenheimer Partners’ entire shareholding, concluding the investor’s five-year involvement in the business.
Oppenheimer Partners initially invested in 2021 and later became a common shareholder with a 40.40% ownership interest. Genser’s redemption of that entire stake marked a major corporate transition just weeks before completion of the latest financing.
Taken together, the shareholder restructuring, new €456 million facility and planned infrastructure commissioning signal a new phase for Genser. The company’s immediate challenge will be translating its growing financing capacity and project pipeline into operational assets while managing the capital demands associated with expansion across multiple West African markets.
