About Lekela Power – one of Africa’s largest renewable energy generators
Lekela Power was founded in 2015 by Mainstream and Actis, a global responsible investment firm, to help deliver sustainable, reliable and competitively-priced electricity on the African continent.
It has achieved that goal by delivering over 1 GW and is reputedly one of Africa’s largest pure-play renewable Independent Power Producers’ (IPP). In 2022, the sale of Lekela Power was announced and reached close in Q1, 2023.
