Investments in energy plants are a massive capital outlay. With Africa having over 700 million people yet to be connected to the power grid, innovations within the energy market are rapidly redefining the energy landscape, according to CNBC Africa. 

CNBC Africa’s Aby Agina speaks to Tarvo Ong, CEO of Fusebox, an Estonian company that provides energy companies with its Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and advanced Energy Management Software (EMS) solutions, discussing some of the emerging technologies and what this could mean for Africa’s energy game plan. Watch the interview here.

Fusebox, the leading flexibility provider in the Baltic states, secured €2.6 million in funding in January 2025 to accelerate its expansion across Europe. This followed a successful funding round in December 2022.

Fusebox provides modular SaaS solutions that help power utilities, commercial, and industrial companies integrate renewable energy, storage, and consumption while reducing energy imbalances and generating revenue from ancillary markets. Designed for global use, the platform effortlessly integrates with existing systems, offering tailored solutions for hybrid site management or scaling into a full Virtual Power Plant (VPP).
