Our progress to date
Since our inception in 2018, we have made significant strides in developing one of Africa’s first utility-scale standalone BESS projects.
Driven by a single mission to reshape the power landscape of Malawi and wider Sub-Saharan Africa, we have moved beyond temporary fixes using a new class of scalable BESS solutions designed to deliver power over several hours in various modes of operation. With the crucial support of Government stakeholders, world-class investors, and strategic advisors, we are proud to be progressing towards financial close on our pioneering projects.
