Energy at Scale.

Utility-scale battery storage for Africa's grids.

Voltaras finances, builds, owns and operates Tesla battery systems co-located with existing generation — fully funded, with no capital or debt from the host.

What we do

We turn variable power into firm, dispatchable capacity.

Africa's grids have the generation — what they lack is the ability to store it and deliver it when it's needed. Voltaras builds that layer, on its own balance sheet.

Fund & build

We finance 100% of the project cost and build utility-scale storage co-located with hydro, geothermal, coal or solar generation.

Own & operate

We run the asset for 20 years and carry all technology, degradation and availability risk — backed by Tesla guarantees.

Deliver firm capacity

Utilities and large users contract for dispatchable power under long-term offtakes — paying for a service, never for the asset.

Projects

A platform taking shape across three markets.

Each first project is co-located with an existing generation asset — removing grid-queue delay and land risk — and seeds a larger national build-out.

Kenya

Olkaria & Seven Forks

With KenGen
25 MW / 100 MWh

Firming a thin-reserve grid — storing curtailed geothermal and hydro and delivering it into the evening peak.

Our approach

A partnership built to run for twenty years.

We are a principal with capital at risk — not a consultant. Hosts and utilities get firm capacity without touching their balance sheet.

1

100% funded by Voltaras

We carry all project capital and 20 years of operations — no capital or debt from the host country or its utilities.

2

Tesla as technology partner

A direct relationship for Megablock pricing, warranties and performance guarantees — proven at gigawatt scale worldwide.

3

Long-term capacity offtake

Partners pay a fixed capacity charge for firm, dispatchable availability — predictable, financeable, and simple to underwrite.

4

Local ownership & jobs

Construction jobs, skills transfer and community benefit at every site, with local ownership built into the platform.

Technology

Built on the Tesla Megablock.

A factory-integrated battery system deployed at gigawatt scale around the world. Units arrive ready to connect — cutting on-site construction risk — and their performance is contractually guaranteed for twenty years.
