Water Infrastructure
Municipal supply networks and industrial water systems for Africa's growing cities and data-driven economy.
Overview
We develop water infrastructure across two distinct markets: municipal systems serving Africa's rapidly urbanising cities, and industrial water treatment facilities serving data centres, manufacturing plants, and processing facilities. Both markets are structurally undersupplied and increasingly structured under PPP frameworks that suit KXT's EPC+F model.
Market Opportunity
Less than 60% of sub-Saharan Africa has access to safely managed drinking water, and urbanisation is accelerating the deficit. On the industrial side, the expansion of data centres and manufacturing across Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, and South Africa is making industrial water treatment mandatory, creating a fast-growing, commercially structured market that complements KXT's municipal pipeline.
Investment Focus
For municipal water, we target projects with sovereign or municipal offtake agreements, DFI co-financing, and tariff frameworks that provide long-term revenue visibility. For industrial water, we structure long-term service agreements with anchor clients, including data centre operators, industrial park developers, and processing facilities, that provide contracted cash flows from day one.
Development and Execution
Our water teams manage the full project lifecycle from hydraulic engineering and procurement through construction, commissioning, and operations. We bring institutional financing capability alongside technical execution, allowing us to close water projects where budget-constrained governments or industrial clients need an EPC+F partner rather than a pure contractor.
