Images of branding, products and clients in and around the town of Kitale, NW Kenya, for M-KOPA SOLAR, a mobile technology innovating company who believe in the huge potential of transformative, affordable products such as solar panels and lights, the D10 and D20, designed for underserved consumers.

French energy group ENGIE has acquired 100% of Fenix International, a next generation solar home systems well known for its ReadyPay Power system which provides lighting, phone charging and power for TVs and radios in Uganda and Zambia.

Fenix International’s ReadyPay Power is offered on a lease-to-own basis so that off-grid customers can finance their power system through micro instalments over mobile money. Fenix uses the financing of the solar home system to build a credit score for each customer which can then be used to power and finance other life-changing products and services from Fenix.

Founded in 2009, Fenix employs over 350 people and has its main activities in Uganda where it is the leading SHS player with more than 140,000 customers. Fenix recently expanded into Zambia and plans further roll-outs in other countries across Africa.

Fenix will be the first SHS Company to join a major worldwide energy company, which puts the fight against climate change and energy access at the very center of its purpose.

Bruno Bensasson, CEO of ENGIE Africa: “We believe that combining the strengths of ENGIE, a global energy player and Fenix, a successful company with very strong customer focus, high-quality products and an experienced team anchored in the heart of Sub-Saharan Africa, will enable faster deployment of SHS to the large African population still lacking access to electricity. ”

The acquisition will see Fenix fuel the firm’s SHS business in Africa and enable it to become a leading profitable off-grid energy services company on the continent, reaching millions of customers by 2020. The firm will launch national grids extension, local micro-grids and solar home systems, depending on the local characteristics of the energy demand across Africa.

By joining forces with ENGIE – one of the world’s largest independent utility companies with a firm commitment to a decentralized, decarbonized and digital energy revolution, it will greatly accelerate the path to its vision.
