PEG delivers Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) asset-based financing to consumers who lack both access to reliable electricity and formal banking services.
PEG’s anchor product – a basic solar home system that includes six lights, a phone charger, a radio, and a TV – allows consumers living on $5-10 per day to access clean light for working and studying after hours, avoid harmful air pollution from kerosene-based lighting solutions, and also build credit for additional products and services over time.
We are also scaling income-generating energy assets such as solar pumps, solar generators and solar fridges for households and SMEs.
To date, PEG has raised over $60 million and has over 500 full-time staff across Ghana, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Mali. PEG has also won numerous awards, including the prestigious Ashden International Award for excellence in sustainable energy, and was named as one of the “fastest-growing companies in Africa” by the London Stock Exchange.
