Afrigrid was founded to capture a specific, time-limited opportunity: the convergence of Zambia's Open Access energy reform, surging industrial demand, and Western capital's ESG imperative. Our team has the local knowledge, the sector experience, and the institutional relationships to execute it.
We are building the clean energy infrastructure that Zambia’s industrial growth demands — and that global capital increasingly requires.

Zambia was selected for a specific combination of factors that are rare in sub-Saharan African energy markets: a stable regulatory reform environment, an existing transmission infrastructure, English-language commercial and legal frameworks, a highly educated workforce, and a convergence of industrial demand that makes long-term contracted offtake not just possible, but in high demand.
The Open Access reforms are recent. The Lobito Corridor is imminent. The window to establish the first-mover position in clean energy provision along this corridor is open now. Afrigrid is moving.
