On this very first International Day of Clean Energy, we’re highlighting the transformative work of our Health Electrification and Telecommunications Alliance (#HETA). In Tanzania, roughly 250 pharmacy and drug shop owners like Fides, Clementina and Hussein have new solar panels, installed by HETA partner ZOLA Electric, that keep the lights on while also powering digital business management software from Maisha Meds, also a HETA partner. With this bundled solution, they can: ⚡️🔋 Stay open later and keep operating during power outages from the grid – serving more clients in need of healthcare products and services 📲 Keep track of stocks of medicines and other health commodities and send electronic receipts, streamlining business operations 💊Easily identify expired medicines – making sure clients have access to the health commodities they need HETA is Power Africa’s flagship program for health facility electrification and digital connectivity in sub-Saharan Africa. Working with diverse partners, we’re creating bundled solutions for electricity and digital connectivity that support improved health service delivery. So far, Abt Associates and other HETA partners have reached more than 250 health facilities with clean energy in Tanzania and Nigeria, with results coming soon from DRC, Eswatini, Mozambique, and other countries. 👍 Ready to join the alliance? We’re an open platform with space for investors, implementation partners, and innovators working on energy, and digital solutions for health across the continent: https://lnkd.in/dzj9GFPe 📷 HETA #PoweringHealthcare #SDG7 #SDG3 #CleanEnergyDay #PowerAfrica USAID Gina Cady Heran Abiy Jaime Lee J.

As we approach the end of 2023, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on our achievements and share our anticipation for the exciting year ahead in 2024. ZOLA Electric originated from the belief that energy inequality drives severe social and economic strain, born substantially by emerging market communities. Our mission to deliver affordable and reliable energy began well over a decade ago in the form of delivering solar home systems to rural communities across Tanzania. Through our journey we’ve recognized the need was much broader and includes over 3 billion people and businesses across 80 countries. This is one of the world’s great problems, one that necessitated a paradigm shift and new perspective in addressing. Today, ZOLA has transformed from a product company selling back up systems to homeowners and small businesses into a technology platform that enables community level electrification through Power-as-a-Service (PaaS). Our goal is to enable our customers to build and manage distributed energy networks, delivering community level electrification while building strong, sustainable businesses. In 2024, we foresee several trends that will shape the landscape of the energy sector: Decentralization: Future trends in renewable energy emphasize decentralization, integrating diverse and resilient sources. Advanced technologies, including smart storage solutions, will be managed by enterprise software driving efficiency across the business model. Energy Renaissance: This paradigm shift towards distributed architecture will empower individuals, businesses, and communities, ushering in a new era of impactful energy infrastructure. Our markets, emerging and developing, will finally achieve grid parity with developing markets, the grids they build will just be built differently. Digitization: Emerging market energy inefficiency spans every aspect of the industry value chain including customer acquisition, logistics, service, finance and of course energy production and distribution. In the age of digitization, software and AI, businesses are on the brink of an energy transformation with these trends driving mass efficiency across their business model. Power as a Service (PaaS): The increasing use of the power-as-a-service model will enable customers to pay for electricity usage through a third-party provider, offering flexibility in energy consumption. ZOLA is positioned to enable and drive all of the trends mentioned above and will in turn achieve our vision of eradicating energy inequality across the globe. We express gratitude to each valuable contributor within our ecosystem for the support you've provided. Let's approach the coming year with enthusiasm, innovation, and a shared commitment to make our planet a better place. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year. Bill Lenihan Founder & CEO

#Loadshedding is a major social and economic issue – impacting daily life, the operation of businesses, schools, and clinics, and hindering South Africa’s development. The South African Reserve Bank estimates these rolling blackouts cost the nation as much as $51 million per day – and disproportionately affect lower-income communities, disrupt essential services, and are expected to reduce South Africa’s GDP by 2% this year. In response, we are proud to have partnered with Wetility and Vincent Maposa to provide our FLEX MAX units to combat load shedding and empower South Africans! Through the #BeastBundle, and alongside Tendai Mtawarira, we are reinforcing our commitment to driving energy access and energy equality through the provision of clean, affordable, and reliable energy. As we continue our mission of eradicating energy inequality, and powering the three billion people, and hundreds of millions of businesses, schools, and clinics, currently lacking energy access, we invite you to follow us on our journey. #PowerAnywhere! #energyaccess #energyinequality #sustainability #SouthAfrica #energy #affordableenergy #cleanenergy
