Between $50 billion and $200 billion in annual investment is needed to achieve universal energy access globally by 2030. Yet finance commitments for electricity in 20 'high-impact' countries - representing 76% of those without electricity access - is averaging just USD 30.2 billion annually. We are falling short. Our work is focused on changing this.

We are passionate about driving investment into the distributed renewable energy and wider clean technology sectors. We leverage cutting-edge digital technologies, in-depth market knowledge and frontier entrepreneurship experience to redefine the future of energy. We are hands-on, dependable and extremely meticulous. We leave no stone unturned and we are uncompromising in the quality of our work.
