Vittoria Technology Selected for Ashden PCEI Programme to Scale Battery Leasing Across Africa

June 19, 2026 — Vittoria Technology is honoured to have been chosen for the Ashden Powering Clean Energy Investment (PCEI) programme, a highly competitive initiative designed to support leading clean energy enterprises in unlocking growth capital and scaling their impact.

Through the PCEI programme, Vittoria Technology will receive support to strengthen and scale its Battery Bank Africa (BBA) battery leasing model, which provides affordable and reliable energy storage solutions for mini-grid and off-grid energy developers across Africa.

Battery Bank Africa addresses one of the most significant barriers facing renewable energy deployment in underserved communities: the high upfront cost of battery storage infrastructure. Through an innovative leasing model, Vittoria Technology enables energy developers to access scalable battery systems with reduced capital expenditure, helping expand clean electricity access for rural communities, businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, and productive-use enterprises.

The Ashden PCEI programme will support Vittoria Technology in developing a blended finance structure designed to unlock scaling capital and expand BBA across African mini-grid markets.
