Pan-African renewable energy generation platform MoreLess

Lekela is a renewable power generation company focused on delivering utility-scale projects across Africa. The company specializes in taking projects from mid or late-stage development into long-term operation, ensuring a steady supply of clean, reliable energy to communities in need. Lekela operates in various African markets, including Egypt, Ghana, South Africa, and Senegal, with a portfolio exceeding 1,300MW of installed capacity. The business model revolves around developing, constructing, and operating wind and solar power plants, which generate revenue through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with local utilities and governments. This approach not only provides a stable income stream but also contributes to the broader goal of sustainable development and climate change mitigation. Lekela's clients primarily include national utilities and government bodies responsible for energy distribution. The company also invests in community development initiatives, aiming to create a lasting positive impact beyond energy provision.
