With a €186 million contract for the electrical and solar infrastructure project launched on April 18 in Guinea, the Moroccan company Cegelec confirms its growing presence in West Africa.
The Moroccan group has secured a contract worth approximately €186 million for the construction of energy infrastructure in Guinea, as part of a program led by its subsidiary VINCI Energies Guinee on behalf of the Guinean Ministry of Energy.
The project was officially launched on April 18, 2026, in Kamissaya, in the Kindia prefecture, in the presence of Guinean government officials.
Continuing this momentum, the project focuses on modernizing the national electricity grid, with the construction of very high voltage lines and substations.
It also includes a 50 MWp photovoltaic power plant, connected to the grid via a dedicated substation, as part of a strategy to diversify the energy mix and strengthen production capacity.
In this configuration, the operation is not limited to physical infrastructure. It also includes a training and skills transfer component, with the mobilization of local resources and technical support for Guinean teams. The stated objective is to consolidate national expertise in the fields of electricity transmission and solar energy.
This project is the latest in a series of initiatives undertaken by the group on the African continent, where it already has a presence in several countries, particularly in West and East Africa.
This gradual expansion illustrates the increasing prominence of Moroccan companies in the energy engineering and complex infrastructure sectors.
Building on these developments, this contract confirms the growing role of Moroccan industrial operators in the structuring projects of the African electricity sector. In a context marked by significant needs for electrification and grid modernisation, this type of investment contributes to the gradual transformation of regional energy systems.
