The investment will support Solarise Africa’s solar and energy efficiency solutions for small and medium enterprises and other commercial and industrial (C&I) businesses.

Oikocredit has partnered with Lion’s Head Group-managed funds, the Facility for Energy Inclusion (FEI) and AfricaGoGreen (AGG), to invest US$ 7 million in a US$ 33.4 million multi-currency loan facility to support Solarise Africa’s growing provision of affordable commercial and industrial solar installations in Africa.
