Daystar Power, a West Africa hybrid solar power solutions provider, intends to raise about $100 million within the next three years to satisfy existing client demand.

The funding which will mostly be by debt would be sought in $20 million in each fundraising round.

This disclosure was made by Olaedo  Osoka, Daystar’s CEO for Ghana, according to the news report by The Africa Report.

According to Osoka,

  • “The market size and funding gap is huge, and our role in bridging this gap will involve us continuously raising funds.
  • “The cost of power in West Africa has curtailed the growth of competitive businesses and industries. Daystar’s solution is to reduce typical power costs by up to 30%. Covid-19 pandemic has intensified the need for reliable and affordable electricity.
  • “Indications into 2021 show an increased demand for our services. Our expectation is to grow exponentially this year.
  • “Governments are making headway in creating policies to encourage the transition to solar energy. Still, there is a considerable amount of work to be done from a policy perspective to build the industry.
  • “We hope to see a more consistent and cohesive approach in policymaking as well as execution of policies to support solar power growth.”
