DFIs, Local Capital and Financing West Africa's Power Transition

Recorded in partnership with The Electricity Hub in Ghana during the West Africa Energy Cooperation Summit (WA-ECS), this episode captures a timely discussion at the heart of West Africa's evolving power market.Against a backdrop of shifting development finance priorities and tighter global liquidity, we sit down with Roger Stuart, Head of the Regional Hub at the European Investment Bank, to explore how development finance institutions, commercial banks and domestic investors are adapting to finance the region's next generation of power projects.From blended finance structures and local-currency solutions to the growing influence of pension and sovereign wealth funds, this conversation unpacks what a more resilient, locally anchored financing ecosystem could mean for West Africa's energy transition.
