“We are excited to welcome the Oolu team to the Ignite Power family,” stated Yariv Cohen, Ignite Power Chief Executive Officer.

Dan Rosa, Co-founder and CEO of Oolu, said, “Joining the Ignite family presents a remarkable opportunity to blend Oolu’s strong operational presence across West Africa with Ignite’s proven expertise and advanced technologies,” Ignite Power is headquartered in Dubai.
