“We are now bullish on leases given that cost competitiveness now makes sense. We’ve tested and tried it, and the chance of default is now lower because of the monthly expense of petrol or diesel. You can more or less switch that for solar. It wasn’t the case four years ago where you will be paying higher even if you’re on a five-year lease to own solar,”

According to him, Arnergy plans to maintain its service provision across all 36 states where it operates in Nigeria through min-grid developers. Additionally, Arnergy is preparing to raise its Series B round, which is scheduled to close this quarter. The upcoming funding round aims to facilitate further expansion of its operations and accelerate the adoption of its renewable energy products and solutions within and outside Nigeria.

Also commenting on the latest raise, All On CEO, Caroline Eboumbou, in a statement said,

We are proud of our partnership with Arnergy over the past years. With this partnership, we have been able to achieve some of our goals to empower communities and create a cleaner future for Nigeria. Arnergy exemplifies the impact we strive to achieve at All On, innovative solutions, unwavering commitment to sustainability, and a relentless focus on social impact. This investment reaffirms our confidence in their ability to scale their operations and accelerate the adoption of clean energy in Nigeria and beyond.”
