We believe Orange can play a very important role in bringing solar energy to African [consumers/citizens or populations] and, Angaza pay-as-you-go management platform, Angaza is helping this.”
“The contract between Orange and Angaza will help expand the reach of solar energy to Orange customers in many African countries” said Lesley Marincola, Angaza CEO. “Orange’s leading position in many sub-Saharan African markets is a critical catalyst to allow access to energy and open financial inclusion to a population that needs these essential services”.
