PowerChina is expanding its presence in Africa with a renewed focus on renewable energy, positioning the continent as a core driver of its global growth strategy. The company’s leadership outlined the plan in an interview reported by Reuters, highlighting rising demand for clean power across African economies.
According to the Reuters report, PowerChina is prioritizing large scale solar, wind, and hydropower projects. Company executives said Africa’s strong resource potential and government led energy transition policies make it one of the most attractive regions for long term investment.
The company has already delivered several major power projects on the continent, and it intends to deepen collaborations with African governments to accelerate electrification. PowerChina noted that its renewable portfolio in Africa will expand significantly over the next five years as countries seek more sustainable and cost efficient power solutions.
Industry analysts cited by Bloomberg say the shift aligns with broader trends in global infrastructure financing, where Chinese firms are increasingly pivoting toward green energy to meet international climate standards and local market demand.
