About this round
Company-reported (Solarise Africa press release dated Nairobi, 13 October 2026): EUR1 million awarded by the Energy and Environment Partnership Trust Fund (EEP Africa, hosted/managed by the Nordic Development Fund) to expand its solar leasing model into Uganda and Zambia; independently reported by Disrupt Africa on 15 October 2026. The grant is matched by EUR1 million of Solarise Africa's own co-financing in a EUR2 million, 24-month programme targeting 3 MW of new capacity; the co-financing is not external capital and is not included in this amount. USD figure is Disrupt Africa's conversion (US$1.12m); African-Startups reported US$1.15m. Disrupt Africa's US$1.24m figure for the EUR2m programme appears to be a conversion error. Closing/disbursement date not disclosed.
