**KIGALI & FRANKFURT** — Renewable energy fund manager [**Fortis Green Renewables Investment Management**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/fortis-green-renewables-investment-management/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com)and German investment company **Zeitinger Invest GmbH** have provided growth equity funding to [**GRIPS Energy Group**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/grips-energy/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com). Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

- **Segment Focus:** Off-grid and grid-tied distributed solar photovoltaics (PV) and integrated solar-plus-storage solutions.
- **Client Portfolio:** Tailored to private sector commercial and industrial off-takers seeking reliable, low-carbon power to offset regional grid instability and high diesel generation tariffs.

- **Fortis Green Renewables:** Deploys capital through its Green Growth Fund I, targeting operational and late-stage development clean energy assets across East and Southern Africa.
- **Zeitinger Invest GmbH:** Provides long-term growth capital to green transition and financial inclusion platforms across emerging markets.
