- WidEnergy Africa offers pay-as-you-go solar systems to 8,500 households in Zambia.
- Solar Sister has distributed 300,000 solar devices across Nigeria, impacting 60,000 people.
- Strauss Energy Ltd's solar roof tiles reduce electricity costs by 38% at Gaitheri Secondary School in Kenya.
The rise of women-led renewable energy startups in Africa is not only a testament to their entrepreneurial spirit but also a critical step towards achieving energy equity and sustainable development. However, the persistent lack of venture capital for these initiatives highlights the need for greater investment and support to fully harness their potential.
