Transforming Energy, Transforming Lives
Powering Africa’s Energy Future
Why afrivolt™
The global economy is rapidly transitioning to new energy generation and there’s a strong relationship between renewable generation and demand for energy storage.
Our goal is to leverage international technology partnerships, public sector support and local resource wealth to secure Africa’s energy future.
By doing so, we contribute to the development of energy systems, intracontinental trade, job creation, skills development, while as acting a catalyst for new downstream industries and a keystone for the development of upstream resource extraction and processing capacities.

Our Mission to Secure Africa’s Clean Energy Future
- A Strategic Opportunity
We are positioned to meet Africa’s energy storage demands, with Southern Africa’s BESS market expected to exceed 70GWh by 2030. The rapid expansion of renewable energy projects presents a huge opportunity for local battery manufacturing.
- Secured Supply
Currently, 100% of Li-ion battery cells deployed in Southern Africa are imported, leading to dependence upon increasingly unstable global supply chain inefficiencies.
- The Keystone for Africa's Battery Industry
We are leading the charge in building Africa’s battery value chain by:
✔ Acting as an off-taker for locally produced battery minerals
✔ Forming a hub for the development of local battery expertise and international
knowledge transfer
✔ Providing stable and secure power demand for renewable energy generators
✔ Stalwart advocacy for a locally built energy transition
