EDFI MC, through ElectriFI, aims to support ECS Supamoto’s innovative community model and expand access to clean cooking solution in Zambia.

Project overview

Emerging Cooking Solutions offers its customers micro-gasification stoves together with its own produced SupaMoto pellets made of timber mill off-cuts from managed forestry plantations under a subscription-based utility model. The pellets are purchased via mobile money and delivered to the customers free of charge using mainly electric vehicles.

Funding objective

ElectriFI’s proceeds are dedicated to scale up ECS Zambia’s activities and expand its operations across the country. This will result in distributing over 14.800 new stoves, mainly to low-income households currently using charcoal in peri-urban and urban areas of the country.

Investment rationale

The investment recommendation is supported by its additionality, a realistic business plan, the local footprint of the company, the expected impact and the catalytic impact of ElectriFi’s investment which is required to sustain the development of the business and secure debt investments and a successful Series A.
