In Nigeria, AI is helping to build a more reliable power grid with Beacon Power Services

On the African continent, where power outages still disrupt the daily lives of households and businesses, a startup is providing concrete solutions. Beacon Power Services develops digital tools powered by artificial intelligence to help utilities reduce losses, better manage their networks, and improve service quality. This growth momentum was further strengthened in 2024 by Proparco’s investment in the company, which marked a true turning point: “We’ve expanded from two to eight countries in Africa,” notes CEO Bim Adosa.
