InfraCo announces sale of a controlling stake in Cenpower Generation Company, Ghana

March 30, 2010 - PRLog -- InfraCo Ltd. has signed an agreement with the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and Cenpower Holding Company Ltd to sell a 46 per cent controlling stake in Cenpower Generation Company Ltd and its $450million power plant under development in Tema, Ghana.

InfraCo, a publicly funded infrastructure development group, was established four years ago to support the identification and development of infrastructure investments and attract increased private sector investment in frontier markets including Sub Saharan Africa.

Infrastructure investment in the poorer developing countries is insufficient to fund needs, leaving millions without access to basic services. Some regions, particularly Africa and parts of Asia, have not had the same levels of private investment in public services as other parts of the developing world.

Mr. Keith Palmer, Chairman of InfraCo said today: "I am absolutely delighted that we have been able to successfully complete this headline transaction selling a major interest to African investors. This project will add cost effective electricity capacity to Ghana's grid and help address a looming power deficit.

"This closing demonstrates the value of InfraCo's unique approach to catalysing private investment into infrastructure in Africa."
