For over 35 years, AGC has supported public project owners, national utilities and international funders in the planning, design, supervision and optimisation of energy infrastructure across Central Africa.
From turbine to power outlet, from plant to the last mile of the grid: our assignments cover the entire project cycle, in compliance with World Bank, AfDB, KfW and AFD standards.

Seven disciplines serving African energy.
Feasibility studies, preliminary and detailed design for run-of-river and reservoir hydroelectric plants. Expertise in small and medium-sized plants in tropical settings, from intake to turbine.
Technical and economic assessment of diesel, gas and heavy fuel oil (HFO) power plants. Optimisation of existing generator sets, performance analysis and corrective and preventive maintenance programmes.
Design of on-grid and off-grid photovoltaic solar plants. Solar irradiance studies, PV plant sizing, hybrid solar-diesel systems and grid integration. Supervision of installation works.
Planning and design of high-voltage (HV) lines, substations, medium- and low-voltage distribution networks (MV/LV), and rural and peri-urban electrification.
Industrial and building energy audits, identification of savings potential, action plans and consumption monitoring. Demand-side management consulting for utilities, industrial clients and local authorities.
Institutional support to utilities (SNEL, SENELEC…), implementation of SCADA, CMMS and supervision systems. Tariff reforms, network development plans (NDP) and asset management.
Sizing of battery energy storage systems (BESS) for the stabilisation of island and hybrid grids. Techno-economic feasibility studies, life-cycle analysis and integration with renewable systems.
