Sun King secures $5 million Acumen investment for Zambia expansion

Acumen’s H2R Catalyze initiative invested $5 million in Sun King’s Zambian subsidiary. The funding is intended to support the company’s expansion in Zambia and help open access to local-currency debt financing.

The financing matters because it may help Sun King fund wider operations with local-currency lending. WeeTracker says the investment could support energy access for nearly 5.6 million people over five years; that is a stated potential outcome, not a confirmed result.
