Areas of expertise
Our work focuses on optimising governance in the energy sector, from regulation to strategic planning, by promoting the transition to clean energy sources.
More specifically, our teams work in the following sectors:
Regional and national energy policy
Electricity markets and energy pools
Renewable energy and energy efficiency
Capacity strengthening for energy sector operators
Regional and national energy policy
- Development of energy policies tailored to national or regional settings, in line with energy transition strategies and sustainable development objectives
- Support for reforms in the electricity, renewable energy and hydrocarbon sectors, based on institutional assessments and international benchmarks
- Institutional studies to clarify the roles of sector stakeholders, improve governance and promote investment attractiveness
- Support for the creation or strengthening of independent regulatory agencies, with economic, legal and technical regulatory tools
- Drafting of legislation and support for the harmonisation of laws and standards within regional areas (e.g., ECOWAS and ECCAS), in line with climate and trade policies
- Definition of energy infrastructure master plans (production, transport and distribution) and development of detailed action plans for their deployment in the short, medium and long terms

Power Sector Development Programme - Sector Development Support Consultant ( 2023 - 2026 )
Ginger SOFRECO is assisting the Tajikistan Ministry of Energy and Water Resources in implementing structural reforms in the electricity sector. The mission focuses mainly on transforming the national operator into separate production, transmission and distribution entities, introducing independent regulation, revising the tariff methodology and creating a competitive electricity market. A specific component focuses on supporting the integration of renewable energies, including site identification, analysis of technical and regulatory constraints, structuring bankable projects and mobilising public and private financing.
Technical assistance for the Ministry of Energy as part of institutional support and strengthening the capacities of parties involved in the energy sector in Benin (RECASEB) ( 2017 - 2024 )
Ginger SOFRECO provided long-term technical assistance to support energy sector reforms in Benin. The aim of this assistance was to establish a regulatory and organisational framework conducive to investment and universal access to electricity.
Numerous studies (technical, institutional, organisational and sectoral) and master plans were drawn up, with the main objective of developing renewable energies, rural electrification and energy efficiency. A significant part of the project was also devoted to training, with the implementation of numerous specialised modules (energy planning, energy efficiency, energy law, demand modelling, public lighting management, photovoltaics, ISO standards, etc.) for institutions and professionals in the sector.
Dedicated teams
Ginger SOFRECO's Infrastructure, Energy and Transport Division is supported by an in-house team of around 20 people specialised in infrastructure-related fields. Our in-house staff is reinforced by dozens of experts who work with us on a regular basis, and who are all recognised for their expertise in energy sector governance issues, acquired through major projects.
Our resources cover all the skills required to support reforms and institutional governance in the energy sector. This organisation ensures rapid mobilisation, meticulous project management and custom-made support for our public partners and international financial institutions, while taking international best practices into account.

Challenges and prospects
The energy transition: effectively incorporating renewable energies into the energy mix and networks
The rise of solar, wind and hydroelectric power is bringing about profound changes to electricity systems. However, energy sector players and policymakers are often ill-prepared to incorporate intermittent sources of production.
Institutional fragmentation, regulatory instability and limited operational capacities are major obstacles to the reforms needed to achieve this integration. Clear, consistent and robust governance is therefore essential for a successful energy transition.
