Global energy giant EDF has bought a 23% stake in off-grid solar company Bboxx’s Kenyan business.
Bboxx, which specialises in building, financing and operating off-grid solar installations in the African market, is partnering with EDF to expand its footprint in Kenya by capitalising on the energy group’s commercial resources and financial clout. Kenya is already Bboxx’s largest market, according to the company, and has been operating there since 2011.
Bboxx’s solar systems are eligible for mobile, pay-as-you-go payments, and they allow customers to power domestic appliances, such as TVs, radios, fans and mobile telephone chargers.
