Spark Energy Services (Spark) is a dynamic and scalable investment platform designed and managed by Camco, which efficiently deploys capital for captive renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in Africa’s commercial and industrial (C&I) sector.
Spark partners with a network of local development partners (DPs) to deploy capital quickly and at scale, enabling impactful projects that address the region's energy challenges.
By leveraging standardised processes and a streamlined approach to financing, Spark makes it easier and faster for DPs to access the funding they need to scale multiple projects simultaneously. This efficient model allows Spark to drive widespread adoption of clean energy solutions, unlocking new opportunities for growth while mitigating risk.
As of the end of 2025, Spark had ramped up deployment significantly, with over USD15m in committed projects funded across eight markets in Africa. Looking ahead, Spark is targeting an additional USD70m in funding from equity and debt sources over the coming year as it scales its ambition to decouple emissions growth from economic growth in the C&I sector.
