Leading Africa-focused power generation company strengthens executive leadership with seasoned energy infrastructure veteran

Accra, Ghana / Boston, Massachusetts (28 August 2025) – Endeavor Energy Holdings LLC, an Africa-focused independent power generation company backed by Denham Sustainable Infrastructure, is pleased to announce the appointment of Erik Granskog as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

Endeavor Energy has developed and constructed three baseload power generation assets totaling 450MW across West Africa over the past decade, delivering reliable and low-cost power to facilitate economic growth while prioritizing community development and emissions reduction.

Mr. Granskog brings over 25 years of extensive experience in developing, structuring, financing, and managing energy infrastructure investments across global markets. He has been involved in over 4.6 GW of power projects requiring more than $5.8 billion of capital and is recognized as a thought leader on African energy development.

Most recently, Mr. Granskog served as Founder and CEO of Milele Energy, a Nairobi-based energy platform with projects in Kenya and Sierra Leone. During his tenure, he served on the board of Africa’s largest wind farm, the 310MW Lake Turkana project, and led the redevelopment and financing of the 104MW gas-fired Nant Energy project in Sierra Leone. Prior to founding Milele Energy in 2019, he was Managing Director and Africa Leader for GE Capital’s energy infrastructure division.

With Mr. Granskog’s appointment, Endeavor will continue optimizing operations while seeking new opportunities to add value for stakeholders, economies, and communities across Africa. Endeavor will also continue its strong commitment to supporting initiatives that are important to the communities in the countries in which it operates and is especially proud to support the Amazing Grace Children’s shelter in Aboadze, Ghana.

Endeavor Energy thanks former CEO Brian Herlihy for his commitment, particularly in bringing the Early Power Limited project in Ghana to full operations.

Justin DeAngelis, Partner and Head of Sustainable Infrastructure at Denham Capital, commented: “Erik’s exceptional track record of closing over $5.8 billion in project transactions, combined with his deep operational expertise across African markets, makes him ideally suited to drive Endeavor’s next phase of growth as Africa continues to require low-cost, baseload power generation.” Erik Granskog, CEO of Endeavor Energy, added: “Africa’s energy potential is immense. Having spent most of my career developing and managing power projects across the continent, I’ve witnessed the transformative impact that reliable energy infrastructure has on communities and economies. With Endeavor’s strong platform and Denham Capital’s backing, I look forward to executing our strategy.
