A dedicated Waste-to-Energy developer for Africa
Africa's dedicated Waste-to-Energy developer — financing, building and operating WtE infrastructure that powers communities while solving the waste crisis.
Born from a problem too big to ignore
Across Nigeria, millions of tonnes of waste go uncollected or end up in landfill, while communities live with unreliable power. Sector Lead was founded on a simple conviction: these are not two problems, but one opportunity.
By converting waste into energy, we cut pollution and methane, divert material from landfill, and deliver the dispatchable clean power our cities need to grow.
