Telecoms company MTN is extending its partnership with energy and financial services firm Fenix International to launch pay-to-own solar home systems in Zambia. The Swedish embassy in Lusaka is committing SEK24.75m ($3m) to the project between now and 2020, and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is contributing $750,000. Fenix expects to reach 850,000 rural Zambians by 2020 with its ReadyPay Power solar home system, which gives off-grid customers access to affordable solar power.
