  "account": "Ghanaian energy firm Genser Energy has repurchased the entire stake owned by Oppenheimer Partners, marking the end of the investment firm's five-year presence in the company. Genser Energy, a privately owned infrastructure provider, announced the redemption of OP Energy Holdings Limited's shareholding, which had previously converted to common equity in 2023 after being a preferred shareholder since 2021. The company, which began operations in 2006, has expanded significantly, developing five power plants and a 325-km natural gas pipeline network that supplies electricity to industrial customers and utilities. The acquisition of Genser by Oppenheimer Partners in 2021 resulted in the firm obtaining a 40.4% stake. Founder and CEO Baafour Asiamah Adjei emphasized the significance of the buyback, stating that it highlights the strength of the business that has been developed over the past two decades. Chairman Nana Osae Nyampong added that the transaction allows the company to concentrate on its next growth phase, which includes expanding its regional presence and creating long-term value for stakeholders. Genser Energy's expansion efforts have been driven by rising industrial demand and regional power integration across Africa, where infrastructure investors are increasingly targeting the energy sector. The company currently operates over 310 megawatts of installed generation capacity, owns a 436-km natural gas pipeline network, and is completing several midstream projects, such as a gas conditioning plant and a natural gas liquids export terminal, while supplying power to industrial customers and participating in regional electricity exports.",
