We’re teaming up to accelerate Commercial & Industrial solar, storage and hybrid energy projects across Sub-Saharan Africa.
The combination is simple: Ignite Energy Access’s pan-African platform and balance sheet + GridAfrica’s C&I project origination and delivery expertise = more clean, reliable, bankable power for businesses across the region.
“Africa’s businesses are done waiting for the grid. Combining our platform with GridAfrica’s origination lets us take C&I projects from concept to financial close faster – and at the scale this continent actually needs.” – Yariv Cohen, CEO, Ignite Energy Access
“This is partnership, not just funding. Ignite Energy Access gives our pipeline the on-the-ground support and backing to reach more businesses with cleaner, more affordable energy.” — Norman Moyo, CEO, GridAfrica
Powering Africa’s energy transition — one C&I project at a time.
Encouraging to see C&I solar paired with storage getting real traction in Sub-Saharan Africa — financing is usually the make-or-break factor here. Curious how Ignite structures the capex split with end clients and whether you’re targeting mostly captive power users or grid-tied sites. Either way, the hybrid angle fits the brief perfectly.
