- Ducab Group strengthens its presence in Africa by supplying 220kV high-voltage cables for Senegal’s electrification project, supporting the country’s goal of universal electricity access by 2026.

Ducab Group, a leading UAE-based manufacturer and end-to-end solutions provider, has enhanced its African presence by delivering its first 220kV high-voltage (HV) cables to Senegal. This delivery is integral to the capital Dakar’s electrification project, which is focused on modernising the city’s power infrastructure to meet growing energy demands.
The project is crucial to Senegal’s goal of providing universal electricity access by 2026. It will significantly boost Dakar’s energy capacity and support urban development. Ducab’s involvement underscores the company’s commitment to advancing energy infrastructure across Africa as the region experiences rapid growth and increased demand for reliable power solutions.
With this delivery to Senegal, Ducab continues its expansion strategy in Africa, where the company already serves 23 countries, including Angola, South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Egypt. Operating in 75 global markets, Ducab’s growing footprint in Africa reflects its dedication to supporting vital infrastructure projects across the continent.
Charles Mellagui, CEO of Ducab Cables Business, commented, “We are proud to contribute to Senegal’s electrification efforts with our high-performance HV cables, marking a key milestone in our African operations. This project enhances Dakar’s energy infrastructure and highlights our role in Africa’s growing energy sector.
“Our presence in key markets like Senegal aligns with the UAE’s broader strategy of strengthening economic ties with Africa, and we are excited to support the country’s goal of achieving universal electricity access by 2026.”
Ducab’s expansion into Senegal coincides with intensified UAE-Africa cooperation, underscored by recent developments such as 150 bilateral business meetings between Dubai and Senegalese companies facilitated by the Dubai International Chamber. These meetings emphasise the UAE’s strategic role in supporting Senegal’s economic development.
As Ducab grows globally, it remains committed to delivering world-class, sustainable cable solutions for critical infrastructure projects, including renewable energy initiatives such as solar and wind farms. The company’s focus on sustainability and innovation is integral to its mission of fostering both economic growth and environmental stewardship worldwide.
