MOPO: Catalyzing a Solar Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa

Octopus Energy has strategically invested in MOPO, a Sheffield-based CleanTech company pioneering solar energy solutions in Sub-Saharan Africa. MOPO, which has been operational since 2013, provides solar-powered batteries on a pay-per-use basis, replacing polluting generators in countries with unstable or no grid access. As a result, the partnership seeks to accelerate electrification, create green jobs, and support economic development in the region. MOPO's products, like the MOPO50 and MOPOMax, cater to different energy needs while fostering local community engagement through employment opportunities. The alliance is expected to expand MOPO's reach in a market where over 600 million people lack reliable power, thereby providing a sustainable electricity solution that leapfrogs fossil fuel reliance.
