Eric Granskog, CEO, Endeavor Energy | Powering Africa Summit 2026
Eric Granskog, CEO of Endeavor Energy reflects on shifting U.S. engagement in Africa’s power sector, noting renewed momentum driven by government-backed financing and support for large-scale gas-to-power and LNG projects. While American investment had slowed in recent years, he points to growing opportunities tied to industrialisation, value-added sectors and energy systems that can support both thermal and renewable generation.
The interview highlights the importance of scale and integrated development, with stronger backing from institutions such as U.S. International Development Finance Corporation helping to de-risk projects and attract wider investor participation. Ranskog also emphasises the need for expanded transmission infrastructure and evolving offtake models, as well as the critical role of government-to-government alignment in building confidence. With rising demand and improving frameworks, he sees increasing potential for diversified investment across Africa’s energy landscape.
