Approximately 50 employees (80% African nationals) (source: crossboundaryenergy.com). Revenue estimates for the broader CrossBoundary Group range from $20.1 million to $72.3 million annually (source: zoominfo.com, growjo.com).
What They Do
CrossBoundary Energy focuses on developing, owning, and operating distributed renewable energy systems, primarily solar PV, battery storage, and wind solutions. Their portfolio includes 150 MWp of solar capacity, 50 MWh of battery storage, and 12 MW of wind energy, specifically tailored for commercial and industrial (C&I) clients. The company sidesteps unreliable grids by offering off-grid or behind-the-meter solutions, ensuring that clients can access reliable energy without the burden of upfront capital expenditures (source: wikipedia.org, archempartners.com). Their core services encompass fully financed, customized projects that include large-scale power generation sizing, energy management for hybrid sources, and advanced commercial modeling to demonstrate savings, making them a leader in the renewable energy sector in Africa.
Projects & Track Record
CrossBoundary Energy has completed notable projects such as the Garden City Mall solar installation in Nairobi, which is recognized as Africa's first LEED-certified mall, and the Balama Solar Power Station in Mozambique, which powers Syrah Resources' Balama Graphite Mine. The company operates a portfolio valued between $188 million and $285 million, delivering energy solutions to 30 clients across 14 African countries. Their development pipeline exceeds 300 MW, showcasing their commitment to expanding renewable energy access across the continent (source: crossboundaryenergy.com, archempartners.com). Current major projects include Madagascar’s first wind farm and additional solar mini-grids, demonstrating their innovative approach to energy solutions in underserved markets.
Recent Developments
In June 2022, CrossBoundary Energy successfully raised $25 million in equity and debt from ARCH Emerging Markets Partners, Bank of America, and the Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund to support solar mini-grid projects. Following this, in July 2022, they secured an additional $40 million in equity from Norfund and KLP Norfund Investors to expand their C&I portfolio. By Q1 2024, the CrossBoundary Group reported advising on $11 billion in transactions, with CrossBoundary Energy advancing mini-grid commissions in Nigeria, further solidifying their position in the renewable energy market (source: wikipedia.org, crossboundary.com). Their ongoing projects and partnerships, such as with PowerGen for Nigerian mini-grids, highlight their commitment to expanding energy access across Africa.
Working There
CrossBoundary Energy hires for a variety of roles in project development, energy expertise, construction, financing, operations, and advisory functions. The company actively recruits across its offices in Nairobi, Mauritius, Nigeria, and South Africa, with a team of over 50 professionals dedicated to large-scale systems and hybrid energy management. The company culture emphasizes curiosity, humility, integrity, and a drive for excellence, with a strong focus on local embedding, as 80% of their team consists of African nationals. While specific benefits are not publicly detailed, the firm promotes a collaborative work environment and engages in team networking events to foster community and mission alignment (source: crossboundaryenergy.com, crossboundary.com). Their recruitment drives emphasize the importance of aligning with their mission to provide renewable energy solutions in frontier markets.
