Ethiopia is on the way to accomplish late Prime Minister Melles Zenawis’ vision of making Ethiopia the energy hub of East Africa. Secure and sufficient source of energy is one of the keystones to endurable and sustainable development.

We firmly believe that V.I.P., Valley International Projects, can positively contribute in this noble quest.

V.I.P was formed 2012 by Akal Mamo (Silverstar Group, Addis Ababa), Dr Regis Cabral (FEPRO, Funding for European Projects, Sweden) and Carl Gustafsson (East Africa Nordic Trading, Sweden).

V.I.P. main focus is to contribute to the development of Ethiopia’s energy sector.

Thanks to its founders, V.I.P. has a large international network of contacts and associates. Among them we may refer to Global Energy Solutions, Echo Timber, Alfalaval and Green Energy. This international network gives V.I.P. access to technical and financial solutions in renewable energy projects, including biomass, geothermal and hydro energy. In particular, we can mention energy power plants connected to waste dumps and turnkey solutions for power plants with biomass inputs. These inputs can be from sugar cane, wood or other sources.

Solutions can be offered on demand, according to the specific developmental, agricultural or industrial needs.

If necessary or requested, V.I.P. can assist in the search for financial solutions, funding applications and in the negotiations with funding bodies.
