We are thrilled to announce that has been nominated as one of the Top CMOs to watch in 2024, leaving a trail of excellence and innovation in her wake.

With a remarkable career journey, Enobong has consistently demonstrated visionary leadership and achieved extraordinary milestones and has proven to be an unstoppable force in the industry, captivating the business world with her brilliance and determination.

Join us in celebrating her incredible journey and achievements!

As we approach the end of 2023, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on our achievements and share our anticipation for the exciting year ahead in 2024.

ZOLA Electric originated from the belief that energy inequality drives severe social and economic strain, born substantially by emerging market communities. Our mission to deliver affordable and reliable energy began well over a decade ago in the form of delivering solar home systems to rural communities across Tanzania. Through our journey we’ve recognized the need was much broader and includes over 3 billion people and businesses across 80 countries. This is one of the world’s great problems, one that necessitated a paradigm shift and new perspective in addressing. Today, ZOLA has transformed from a product company selling back up systems to homeowners and small businesses into a technology platform that enables community level electrification through Power-as-a-Service (PaaS). Our goal is to enable our customers to build and manage distributed energy networks, delivering community level electrification while building strong, sustainable businesses.

In 2024, we foresee several trends that will shape the landscape of the energy sector:

Decentralization: Future trends in renewable energy emphasize decentralization, integrating diverse and resilient sources. Advanced technologies, including smart storage solutions, will be managed by enterprise software driving efficiency across the business model.

Energy Renaissance: This paradigm shift towards distributed architecture will empower individuals, businesses, and communities, ushering in a new era of impactful energy infrastructure. Our markets, emerging and developing, will finally achieve grid parity with developing markets, the grids they build will just be built differently.

Digitization: Emerging market energy inefficiency spans every aspect of the industry value chain including customer acquisition, logistics, service, finance and of course energy production and distribution. In the age of digitization, software and AI, businesses are on the brink of an energy transformation with these trends driving mass efficiency across their business model.

Power as a Service (PaaS): The increasing use of the power-as-a-service model will enable customers to pay for electricity usage through a third-party provider, offering flexibility in energy consumption.

ZOLA is positioned to enable and drive all of the trends mentioned above and will in turn achieve our vision of eradicating energy inequality across the globe.

We express gratitude to each valuable contributor within our ecosystem for the support you've provided. Let's approach the coming year with enthusiasm, innovation, and a shared commitment to make our planet a better place.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year.

Bill Lenihan
Founder & CEO
