About
We make commercial and industrial energy projects in Africa visible, comparable and financeable
Most African commercial and industrial sites know their energy costs are too high. Very few have a structured project a developer or a bank can act on. SCARAB closes that gap.
Mission
Give every commercial and industrial energy consumer in Africa access to a credible, standardised pre-feasibility study — in days, at no upfront cost.
Vision
A continental marketplace where captive, commercial and industrial energy projects move from idea to financing with the same speed and transparency as any other asset class.
Why SCARAB exists
Developers spend most of their budget on origination. Financiers reject files for missing data. Commercial and industrial users wait years. The bottleneck is not capital — it is structured, trustworthy project information.
