CIPA Holdings Group has been featured in Forbes Africa’s 2025 Spotlight on Ghana for its role in advancing the country’s green transition and promoting a new approach to climate-aligned infrastructure development.
The recognition positions CIPA as a Ghanaian-founded, climate-resilient infrastructure institution contributing to the delivery of clean-energy and sustainable-infrastructure projects within the local economic context.
According to Forbes Africa, CIPA’s integrated, governance-first model distinguishes the Group at a time when Ghana’s transition agenda is increasingly focused on reliability, affordability, and strong domestic participation.

The publication notes that CIPA bridges policy alignment, project development, financing, and execution, helping translate Ghana’s green-transition ambitions from policy frameworks into bankable, on-the-ground projects.
At the centre of the Group’s growth is its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Kwaku Osei-Sarpong, whose leadership has positioned CIPA as a platform supporting clean energy, electromobility, digital infrastructure, and climate-aligned investment.
“Africa doesn’t just need new infrastructure; it needs new institutions of trust. Our mission at CIPA is to build both,” Osei-Sarpong told Forbes Africa.
CIPA’s leadership team also includes Bright Yamoah, Chief Financial Officer, who emphasised the importance of credibility and discipline in infrastructure finance.
“We combine strong governance and innovative financing with real local ownership. Credibility is currency, and at CIPA we manage risk with discipline and innovate with purpose,” he said.
Institutional oversight is provided by President Allan Okomeng-Mensah, whose decades of experience in engineering and infrastructure strengthen the company’s reputation for technical reliability and governance excellence.
Headquartered in Accra, CIPA’s operations in Ghana form the backbone of its wider Pan-African strategy, with expansion underway across West and Southern Africa.
The Group’s Ghana portfolio spans clean energy, including solar, battery-energy storage systems, natural gas, and clean transport infrastructure, alongside public-sector, digital, housing, and real-estate developments aligned with decarbonisation goals.
A key pillar of CIPA’s work is its industrial and commercial decarbonisation programme, structured around local-currency financing to reduce foreign-exchange risks for Ghanaian businesses.
Through renewable and hybrid energy systems, energy-efficiency upgrades, electromobility solutions, and digital monitoring technologies, CIPA supports industries and large commercial facilities to modernise operations, cut emissions, and improve reliability.
The Group is also advancing local clean-tech manufacturing through partnerships such as its collaboration with Canada’s Sparq Systems to assemble microinverters in Ghana, supporting technology transfer and domestic supply chains.
In addition, CIPA co-invests alongside local financial institutions to mobilise domestic capital for renewable-energy projects, reinforcing confidence in Ghana’s capacity to fund its own green transition.
Beyond infrastructure, CIPA promotes inclusion through the CIPA Foundation, which focuses on women’s economic empowerment, youth development, climate resilience, and green jobs.
Reflecting on the *Forbes Africa* recognition, Allan Okomeng-Mensah said the feature underscores Ghanaian capability and credibility.
“Being featured in Forbes reflects what happens when a team believes in excellence. It is a recognition of Ghanaian capacity, discipline, and long-term value creation,” he noted.
