Easy Solar, a last-mile energy access and distribution company in West Africa, has raised $7 million in debt and equity from Acumen, Cygnum Capital and Triodos Investment Management.
Easy Solar operates in some of the continent’s hardest to reach markets, with a vision of making sustainable energy solutions and life improving products affordable and accessible to its customers, both households and businesses.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to have secured an investment from Triodos Investment Management. They bring a deep expertise in C&I solar, which is a critical growth area for Easy Solar in the current context of rapidly increasing energy prices in the region. Cygnum Capital and Acumen are historical investors who have supported our vision for many years by making impactful finance available where it is most needed and we’re delighted to expand our work with them. Together, we are at the forefront of building a clean energy future for West Africa,” said Alexandre Tourre, the CEO of Easy Solar.
