MUNICH, ACCRA, Ghana & NAIROBI, Kenya -Thursday 9 April 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- REDAVIA,
a global market leader of cost-effective, reliable, and clean solar
power for businesses, has created a new concessionary solar power
program, the COVID-19 Resilience Lease, in order to stand by Ghanaian
and Kenyan businesses in this difficult time of economic uncertainty.
COVID-19 has disrupted African
businesses significantly. In this challenging time, REDAVIA enables
sound businesses to reduce their operating costs with a free solar plant
leasing service. REDAVIA has introduced the COVID-19 Resilience Lease,
which provides solar power plants to business customers for six months,
completely for free.
After these six months, customers can
choose to roll-over this Lease into a regular REDAVIA solar plant lease
or request REDAVIA to re-deploy the plant. This offer is available to
selected long-term sustainable Ghanaian and Kenyan companies on a
first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.
Mankoadze Fisheries Limited in Tema,
Ghana, was first to sign on to the REDAVIA COVID-19 Resilience Lease.
Godfried Kwame Anafi, Director of Mankoadze Fisheries Limited (MFL), is
eager to see the restart of his company’s cold store and resumption of
service to the corporate and independent fishing customers as soon as
possible. REDAVIA will lease MFL the solar plant six months for free, so
MFL’s system-critical business gets through the crisis successfully.
The Royal Senchi Hotel & Resort has
also joined this unique REDAVIA program. The hotel has been especially
hard hit by the pandemic and saw its occupancy rates drop precipitously.
Big losses in revenue made lowering utility costs a top priority for
hotel management. Gerard Schraven, General Manager, said, “REDAVIA’s
solar plant will enable us to keep our energy cost as low as possible
when the hotel re-opens after this global health crisis.”
Erwin Spolders, CEO & founder of
REDAVIA, confirmed, “REDAVIA understands the economic implications of
this pandemic, and we pledge to be a true friend to our business
partners in this time of need.”

first 4-star luxury resort in Ghana. It stands on 35 acres of lush
greenery with a magnificent view of the Volta River. It offers a unique
blend of fauna, flora, traditional architecture, and modernity of the
