Meraki Energy develops solar PV with battery storage, run-of-river hydropower and transmission infrastructure across East and Southern Africa — delivering reliable power to manufacturers, mines, data centres and utilities under long-term agreements.
Meraki Energy originates, develops, finances and delivers renewable generation and grid infrastructure across East and Southern Africa.
Our business rests on three units that work together: generation from solar PV + battery storage, generation from run-of-river hydropower, and transmission that connects new supply to the people and industries who need it.
We focus where reliable power matters most — energy-intensive industry, mining, digital infrastructure and national utilities. Every project is structured around long-term PPAs or PPPs, so customers get predictable prices and partners get bankable returns.
From generation to the grid that carries it — we build the plant and the line, so customers are never left waiting for power.
We develop utility-scale and captive solar PV plants paired with battery energy storage systems (BESS). Storage shifts solar output into the evening peak, smooths ramps and keeps critical loads running through grid outages.
Our run-of-river projects divert part of a river's flow through turbines and return it downstream. There is no large reservoir, so land take, resettlement and ecological impact stay low while output stays steady day and night.
New generation is only as useful as the lines that carry it. Meraki develops, finances, builds and operates high-voltage transmission lines and substations under public-private partnership frameworks with governments and national utilities.
