LAGOS, (CAJ News) – IGNITE Energy Access (IEA) has completed the first phase of its local assembly line capability across four African markets.

The milestone achieved in Benin, Nigeria, Uganda and Zambia marks a significant step in the company’s strategy to increase local value creation, strengthen regional supply chains and expand technical employment opportunities across its markets.

The newly established assembly lines are designed to support the local assembly of 50 000 units per month, with plans to scale capacity further in response to growing demand.

By building in-market capabilities, Ignite is enhancing operational flexibility, reducing reliance on global supply chains and accelerating delivery timelines to customers.

“Completing the first phase of our local assembly expansion is a major milestone for Ignite,” said Yariv Cohen, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of IEA.

“This is not only about increasing capacity – it is about deepening our roots in Africa,” he added.

Cohen said by investing in local assembly, IEA is strengthening supply chain resilience, reducing delivery times and creating meaningful economic opportunities in the communities where it operates.

He said the milestone represents a foundational step in the company’s continued growth across Africa.

“These assembly lines are an important first step, positioning us to scale efficiently while supporting local economies and technical talent.”

IEA is an Abu Dhabi-based leader in distributed renewable energy solutions.
