WHY SOLAR FOR SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA?

More than 600 million people in Africa still live without reliable electricity. Solar offers the fastest, most affordable way to power homes, clinics and businesses and reduce emissions. Nowhere is the opportunity for positive impact greater than in Africa.

Improving lives

Clean, affordable and reliable solar energy replaces expensive, polluting fossil fuels.

Empowering communities

Powering homes and businesses, creating economic growth and boosting income.

Tackling climate change

An investment in a low carbon future, supporting direct positive climate action.

HOW IT WORKS

Energise Africa enables UK investors to make a direct positive impact on lives in sub-Saharan Africa. Here's how we do it:

Our team hand-picks projects from experienced providers with strong local demand, proven revenues and clear social and environmental impact, only listing them after thorough due diligence confirms they’re investment-ready.
Working from our Nairobi-based office and the UK, we identify and meet trusted partners bringing clean energy solutions to homes, schools and small enterprises.
Our investors provide the up front funding needed to get the clean energy projects off the ground, constructing green mini grids, distributing solar home systems and clean cooking appliances or creating sustainable transport systems.
On the completion of the projects, our partners undertake repayments to our investors with interest, funded by income from the clean energy solutions or, in qualifying projects, payment of results based finance grants.
