Acumen, a global impact investment firm that backs businesses serving low-income communities, has invested $5 million in Sun King’s Zambian subsidiary to expand the off-grid solar company’s operations in the country and help it raise additional local-currency financing.

The equity investment, made through Acumen’s Hardest-to-Reach (H2R) Catalyze initiative, which backs off-grid solar companies operating in underserved African markets, is intended to help Sun King attract financing from local lenders, allowing the company to scale beyond Acumen’s investment.

The investment comes as Zambia tries to close a large electricity-access gap while reducing its dependence on hydropower, which accounts for 80% of its electricity generation, according to the World Bank. Nearly half of the country’s population still lacks access to electricity, according to the World Bank, while rural electricity access stands at 33%. 

Sun King is expanding its pay-as-you-go solar business in Zambia, providing households and businesses with an alternative to the national grid. Acumen said the investment will help Sun King provide energy access to nearly 5.6 million people over the next five years, including up to 4.5 million people in Zambia who could gain access to electricity for the first time.
