Combined with existing finance from the UK government's Department for International Development and Department of Energy and Climate Change, the funding pot committed to Gap now stands at £121m ($189m).
“With the additional funding from Norway, our two countries will be joining forces to fund renewable energy projects, reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve access to clean energy for millions of people in Africa," says Norwegian minister of foreign affairs Borge Brende.
Gap expects to start deploying funds in the first quarter, with projects managed by US infrastructure asset manager Eiser and compatriot developer Camco Clean Energy.
