Across Africa, access to reliable electricity isn’t just a convenience — it’s the foundation of economic transformation. Yet millions of households remain disconnected from national grids. Through partnerships with independent power producers, Ascent Lending is financing a new wave of solar-hybrid projects that extend clean energy to underserved regions.
These projects combine solar generation with battery storage, ensuring stable power even in remote communities. Beyond the environmental benefits, each investment creates jobs, builds local capacity, and fuels small-business growth. Ascent Lending’s approach is straightforward: finance sustainable infrastructure that delivers measurable social and commercial returns. The Power X Project in West Africa is a prime example — lighting homes and powering industries with clean, renewable energy.
