The C&I Market

GridX focuses on the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) solar market, which accounts for about 10,000 MW of Africa’s overall power demand. Businesses in this sector often have issues with both the consistency and the cost of their power supply. As grid power costs continue to rise, market economics are making distributed solar an increasingly attractive option for business power supplies.

Many would-be energy investors (and power consumers) have been frustrated by the shortage of utility-scale power projects reaching completion in Africa in recent years. However the C&I sector benefits from faster development cycles and fewer regulatory hurdles, and has proved its success as the segment of Africa's energy sector capable of producing positive results for investors and consumers alike. The higher success rate of C&I developments therefore offers greater potential to impact Africa’s energy infrastructure gap.

GridX is very well placed to deliver successful and effective energy projects in this sector, on time and on budget.
