Former Ethiopian government minister Wondimu ekle Sigo, Ghana Grid Co, Lilongwe Water Board and several renewable energy generation projects were among the winners at the annual African Power, Energy & Water industry awards this week.
Other awards went to winners from Ghana, Malawi, Rwanda and South Africa, including Jasandra Nyker, CEO of BioTherm Energy in South Africa, whose company started building biotherm energy into a renewable energy investment and development platform eight years ago. The outstanding youth leader award went to Astria Fataki, originally from Togo, who from 2013 to 2015 coordinated the contractual and legal construction of two public-private partnership projects for the construction and operation of photovoltaic solar power plants in Mali and Chad. In 2016, she founded pan-African organisation Energy Generation to develop young Africans’ entrepreneurial initiatives in the energy sector.
