Ducab Expands into Senegal with 220 kV High-Voltage Cable Supply
Ducab Group, a UAE-based end-to-end energy solutions provider and cable manufacturer, has expanded its footprint in Africa by supplying 220 kV high-voltage (HV) cables to Senegal for the first time. The milestone marks a significant step in Ducab’s African Growth Strategy and reflects the company’s continued commitment to supporting the continent’s power infrastructure.
Strengthening Power Infrastructure in Dakar
The new cables form part of a critical upgrade to Dakar’s power network, helping the city meet rising electricity demands. Through this initiative, Ducab supports Senegal’s goal of achieving universal electricity access by 2026. The project highlights the growing collaboration between the UAE and African nations in building essential energy systems.
According to Charles Mellagui, CEO of Ducab Cables Business, the expansion underlines Ducab’s mission to deliver reliable and world-class energy solutions.
“This milestone supports Dakar’s energy infrastructure and demonstrates Ducab’s dedication to empowering communities with sustainable power solutions,” said Mellagui.
Expanding Ducab’s African Footprint
With this latest project, Senegal becomes the 23rd African country to receive products from Ducab’s extensive cable portfolio. The company already serves markets including Angola, South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Egypt. Currently, Ducab operates in 75 global markets, illustrating its growing international presence.
Sustained Growth and Strategic Alignment
Ducab’s successful entry into Senegal follows strong financial momentum across 2024. The company reported 1% revenue growth last year and projects a 15% increase for 2025. Similarly, production volume rose 4% in 2024, with expectations for a 21% jump this year.
This expansion aligns with Ducab’s African Growth Strategy and supports the UAE’s $4.5 billion renewable energy investment pledge across Africa. By aligning its goals with regional development priorities, Ducab continues to play a pivotal role in advancing Africa’s energy infrastructure and enabling a cleaner, more connected future.
