Inside Capital Partners, an investment firm, has announced a new partnership with RDG Africa, a company that specializes in providing solar home systems and clean energy solutions. Founded in 2018, RDG is transforming lives by delivering affordable, reliable, and sustainable electricity to underserved households and small businesses through its innovative pay-as-you-go model.
With operations in Zambia (RDG Zambia) and the DRC (RDG RDC), the company is lighting up communities, fueling local enterprise, and driving the region’s transition to clean, renewable power. This strategic investment will allow RDG Africa to expand its reach and impact significantly. The partnership aims to bring innovative energy solutions to communities that lack access to a reliable electricity grid and are often outside the traditional financial system.
Rushil Patel, a partner and the chief investment officer at Inside Capital Partners, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating that the investment will help RDG broaden its product range and expand its regional presence. He highlighted that the partnership is not only about creating long-term value for investors and customers but also about addressing a critical need for energy access and contributing to the fight against climate change.
Rune Gunnar Dige, the founder and CEO of RDG, echoed this sentiment. He emphasized that the support from Inside Capital will significantly accelerate the company’s growth, allowing for key investments in its people and technology. This funding will also facilitate the expansion of RDG’s product and service offerings, ultimately empowering thousands of people in the region with clean energy products. Dige believes that with their shared vision for achieving sustainable impact, the partnership is poised to achieve great things.
