DoGo Power has officially expanded into the Republic of Mali, launching Grid-Forming energy storage solutions for commercial & industrial (C&I) and utility-scale power station scenarios. Guided by a long-term localization strategy, the company will partner with local industry players to expand green energy access and accelerate Mali’s power system upgrade and low-carbon transition. Mali faces severe power supply constraints: national electrification coverage stands below 50% (less than 30% in rural areas), with over 80% of generation coming from costly diesel fuel. Frequent outages caused by weak grid stability have become a major bottleneck for local development. Meanwhile, the country’s annual average of over 3,000 hours of sunshine lays a solid foundation for solar-plus-storage growth. Adapted to Mali’s grid conditions, DoGo Power’s intelligent grid-forming energy storage solutions ensure uninterrupted power for critical loads during grid fluctuations or outages, and support PV-storage-diesel hybrid configurations to cut diesel reliance and increase green energy consumption, flexibly catering to off-grid and weak-grid demands. This move marks a key milestone in DoGo Power’s Africa market strategy. The company will build local service and technical support teams covering full-cycle solution customization, delivery and O&M, aligning its proven grid-forming technology with local power development needs. With its first batch of products arriving at port, DoGo Power will continue to deepen its presence in Mali and the wider African market. Leveraging full industrial chain strengths and localized

RAMINVEST HOLDING DIFC today unveiled an integrated commodities ecosystem connecting international suppliers, African buyers, producers and institutional counterparties. At its centre is WINCOMMODITIES, a B2B fulfilment platform giving international exporters access to African markets through consignment inventory held in bonded warehouses. Under the model, exporters place commodities into bonded hubs while retaining title to their goods. Inventory is then sold locally, based on cash-&-carry, in the quantities buyers require, broken lots included, removing the dependency on full-container or vessel-sized transactions. Rather than a conventional marketplace, the ecosystem connects the layers a physical commodity transaction needs: sourcing, inventory positioning, warehousing, logistics, settlement and trade finance.
