Delta40 Energy
Program
By 2100, nearly 40% of the global population—or approximately 4.2B people—will live in Africa. This represents an incredible opportunity and an urgent need to invest in entrepreneurs in Africa who are driving sustainable economic growth, creating jobs, and tackling climate change. One of the greatest innovation and investment opportunities in Africa today lies in providing clean, affordable energy solutions to this fast-growing market.
At Delta40, we invest in and support African entrepreneurs on the frontlines who are innovating and scaling high-impact solutions in energy, agriculture, and electric mobility. Energy access is one of our core focus areas given the importance of energy in agriculture, mobility, economic development, and job creation. We believe it is a particularly exciting time to invest in energy in Africa, propelled by tailwinds such as battery storage cost reductions, more efficient business models to deploy energy solutions, and initiatives that are driving more commercial and catalytic capital into the sector.
Delta 40 has a team of experienced operators with deep expertise spanning off-grid to utility-scale energy solutions
