**Africa accounts for just 6% of global energy use and less than 3% of global energy-related CO₂ emissions, despite being home to nearly 18% of the world's population.** The continent faces critical energy infrastructure challenges, including: high transmission and distribution losses (19-24% in East African countries), frequent power outages, with manufacturing sectors losing power on average **56 days per year** and the growing energy needs due to rapid urbanization. Outdated infrastructure leads to major energy losses and higher consumption rates. Investing in energy efficiency and local energy solutions is not only crucial for Africa's growth but also for global ecological transformation.  ## **Our commitment** to erase **1.8 million** of CO2eq at our customers’ sites by 2027, across the globe. ## **Explore our solutions** In Africa, providing cleaner, more accessible, and more sustainable energy sources is key to addressing climate change, volatile prices, and resource depletion. We offer comprehensive energy services, covering the entire cycle from sourcing to production, distribution and optimization, helping our clients to lower costs and emissions.  ⁛ Energy **services** for buildings ⁛ Local energy **production** ⁛ Energy **distribution** and district networks ⁛ Energy **micro-networks** ⁛ **Smart** industries ⁛ **Cooling system** management ⁛ **Air quality** management ## Our **core services**  **Cutting** your energy costs  **Reducing** your environmental footprint  **Benefiting** from sustainable alternatives to landfill  **Reducing reliance** on fossil fuels  **Securing** your energy supplies  **Creating** new revenue streams ## What makes our **Energy solutions** stand out  ### 🇲🇦 Morocco: Biomass powering a zero carbon automotive plant At Renault's Tangier factory, Veolia helped achieve "zero carbon" emissions by using olive pomace biomass to power three boilers—equivalent to the energy needs of a small town. This initiative prevents 135,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually. ### 🇨🇮 Côte d’Ivoire: Converting Waste to Energy In Akouédo, we transformed a former landfill into an urban park and a clean energy source. By recovering biogas electricity, we will avoid nearly 80,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year over the next 10 years. ### 🇲🇦 Morocco: Driving energy efficiency in the healthcare sector Since October 2023, Veolia has been improving energy efficiency and providing multi-technical maintenance services at the Casablanca Private Hospital, part of the AKDITAL Group, which operates 22 healthcare facilities across 10 cities. Services include maintenance of air conditioning, heating, ventilation, electrical systems, and plumbing—optimizing energy performance for critical healthcare infrastructures. ## **Field-Tested Solutions** Across Africa ## **Why work with us?** ### **Delivering a Multifaceted Performance** At Veolia, we believe performance must be collective and shared. We strive for the right balance between economic, social, and environmental imperatives—and we do it hand-in-hand with our stakeholders: municipalities, industrial and agricultural actors, NGOs, citizens, and communities.
