Minigrids need scale to become profitable — and mergers & acquisitions (M&A) can be a powerful way to get there fast. But what does it really take to acquire or merge with another mini-grid company? How do you structure a deal that works?

In this episode, host Kellie Murungi (INENSUS) sits down with Matthew Orosz (OnePower) and Prosper Magali (Ensol), who share firsthand insights from their recent M&A experience. Together, they unpack the challenges, breakthroughs, and practical lessons from the deal-making process.

We also hear from legal expert Cynthia Opakas (Greenmax), who offers strategic advice on how to structure M&A transactions to ensure success and sustainability.

This episode was recorded live at the 8th Mini-Grid Action Learning Event, held in Lusaka from April 1–3, 2025.
