About Transenergies

Our Story

Transenergies was born from the conviction of a group of Ivorian engineers trained at leading international institutions (France, Italy, Russia, the United States), who recognized that Côte d'Ivoire, despite its energy resources, still relied heavily on foreign contractors for the design and maintenance of its infrastructure. Since its founding in 2022, Transenergies has set out to build world-class African energy engineering — grounded in technical excellence, innovation, and the continent's industrial sovereignty.
