The Ducab Group, a UAE-based end-to-end solutions provider and manufacturer, announced that it has expanded its presence in Africa by supplying 220 kV high-voltage (HV) cables to Senegal for the first time.

A press release said that the sale, for a critical component of a Dakar project, will help upgrade the power infrastructure of Senegal’s capital to meet increasing energy demands. This initiative supports Senegal’s ambitious goal of achieving universal electricity access by 2026.

The order from Senegal represents the 23rd African country to have been supplied by Ducab’s cable portfolio. Some other African nations it exports to include Angola, South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Egypt. Ducab operates in 75 global markets. Also, its revenues grew by 1% in 2024, and its expectations for 2025 call for a 15% increase. In terms of volume, Ducab recorded a 4% growth in 2024 and estimates a 21% surge in 2025.

The activity stems from Ducab’s African Growth Strategy: This expansion is part of Ducab’s broader growth strategy in Africa, and aligns with the UAE’s recent $4.5 billion pledge to fund renewable energy initiatives in Africa. Charles Mellagui, CEO of Ducab Cables Business, emphasized the importance of this milestone, stating that it not only strengthens Dakar’s energy infrastructure but also reinforces Ducab’s commitment to delivering reliable, world-class solutions across Africa.
