Poor electrical coverage and climate change are driving the imperative for sustainable energy technologies

Longmark’s energy vision is to improve and accelerate electricity access through the adoption of sustainable renewable technologies that improve quality, reliability, and viability of the electricity value-chain.

Our investments in this sector represent an imperative response in the direction of reducing the effects of the global warming crisis on the African population and stimulating local markets.

Technology and innovation play a critical role in our investment sectors

Our technology vertical invests in innovations that support, enhance, simplify food production, access to inputs, finance, markets, or education that ultimately benefits youth and women.

Innovations applied to the renewables sector remain key in improving access to clean energy through loss reduction and managing efficiencies in a dynamic energy supply market.
