AFUR Renewable Energy Platform
From an energy opportunity to a well-governed, investment-ready project
The working core MVP now connects technical feasibility, financial analysis, regulatory review, agreement screening, project delivery, operational oversight and capacity building in one transparent project journey for Africa.
The platform is ready for structured review by the Technical Manager, AFUR leadership and selected pilot users before wider member adoption.
Status update · 13 July 2026
Ready for pilot review and refinement
The complete project lifecycle is represented in the application. The present priority is to validate assumptions, terminology, reports and country-specific requirements with AFUR specialists and member regulators.
Executive summary
What we have built
Project development
Guide users from the first energy need through feasibility, sizing, design assumptions and project readiness.
Regulatory intelligence
Organise licensing, compliance, grid-connection, agreement and tariff evidence.
Decision support
Give management, regulators and investors consistent technical, financial and risk outputs before sanctioning.
Lifecycle oversight
Continue into procurement, delivery, operations, maintenance and professional capacity building.
Technical Manager’s vision
Turning a broad professional service offering into a connected digital system
This is more than a solar calculator. It is a holistic renewable-energy and utility-regulation platform that can teach, analyse, document and guide projects throughout their lifecycle.

Test with selected countries and real or representative projects; record usability and data feedback.
Add approved country datasets, richer reports, role governance, integrations and portfolio-level insight.
AFUR perspective
What the platform can help AFUR achieve
Common assessment structures across members while respecting national jurisdiction.
Visible assumptions, evidence trails, risk ratings and outstanding actions.
Practical tools that embed regulatory and project-development knowledge.
A future evidence base for recurring barriers and support needs across Africa.
A tangible digital service that AFUR members can test, adopt and shape together.
A foundation for consultancy, training, policy support and investor due diligence.
Responsible use
A decision-support platform—not an automatic approval authority
- Outputs remain preliminary until verified by qualified engineers, financial specialists, lawyers and regulators.
- Country-specific laws, tariffs, grid codes and licensing thresholds must be confirmed with the competent authority.
- Calculated results retain assumptions so reviewers can understand and challenge them.
- Wider deployment will require approved role-based access, privacy, security and data-governance arrangements.
- AFUR consultation will determine final workflows, terminology, country datasets and adoption priorities.
