Iftiin u samee dalkaaga.
Dalka Capital is being formed to finance, build and operate solar and battery energy infrastructure across Somalia. We are Somali-owned and Somali-led — an institution, not an aid programme. This site introduces who we are, what we will build, and how we will be governed.
Who we are
Dalka means the homeland. Dalka Capital exists to turn the strength of the Somali nation — at home and in the diaspora — into lasting, productive infrastructure. We will build and operate the solar and battery systems that keep clinics open, businesses growing and homes lit.
We speak the language of ownership, never of aid. Communities are productive, businesses are growing, and the people we work with are owners and participants — not beneficiaries. That conviction shapes everything we build.
Our edge is our team: Somali leadership, rooted in the communities we serve, working alongside European infrastructure and finance expertise. Local trust, international standards.
What we do
We will build and run solar-and-battery minigrids, and structure ownership of that infrastructure in a way designed to be genuinely Sharia-compliant. This is what defines our approach — described here in principle.
Everything will be tied to real, licensed solar-and-battery assets on the ground — tangible infrastructure, not paper promises.
Being structured to be Sharia-compliant from the founding documents outward — Sukuk, Musharaka and Ijara, with an independent Sharia board being constituted to certify our structures. Not retrofitted.
Day-to-day operations and maintenance will be delivered by a specialist operator under contract — held to standards we set. Keeping O&M separate from ownership means every site is judged on performance, not on who owns the paperwork.
We will publish named sites, generation and uptime data, and households connected. Where others are opaque, transparency will be our moat — built to survive scrutiny.
Keeping ownership and operations separate isn't an outsourcing decision — it's a safeguard. It means every site is accountable to performance standards, not to who holds the equity. Any arrangement with a related party will be disclosed and approved on arm's-length terms.
Impact & the SDGs
Reliable, clean power is foundational: it lets clinics stay open, businesses grow and homes thrive. Everything Dalka builds will be anchored to the UN Sustainable Development Goals — with affordable clean energy at the centre.
Extending reliable, affordable, clean electricity to communities and enterprises that rely today on costly, polluting diesel — the goal at the heart of everything we build.
Solar and storage will displace diesel generation, cutting carbon emissions at every site we power.
Dependable power lets enterprises run longer, hire more and grow — turning energy access into livelihoods.
Durable, licensed energy infrastructure that a modern, productive economy can be built on.
Power for clinics, cold chains and water systems that keep communities healthy.
Dalka will report its contribution to these goals against a defined methodology as projects come online.
Where we work · Maalgelin leh ujeeddo.
We are building towards a national footprint — solar and battery infrastructure sized to each region's homes, markets, clinics and productive industry. Our work is designed to reach all eighteen of Somalia's federal regions over time.
Regions shown reflect planned development; specific project details are confirmed directly with partners.
Governance & leadership
Dalka is led by an experienced Somali and European founding team and will be held to independent oversight. Governance is designed to survive due diligence, not to impress at first glance.
Somali leadership, rooted in the communities we serve, paired with European infrastructure and finance expertise — local trust and international standards.
An independent Sharia supervisory board is being appointed to certify our structures against AAOIFI-aligned standards.
Accounts and operations will be independently audited each year, with transparent reporting.
We will secure the licences needed to build this infrastructure and govern how it is operated — day-to-day O&M will sit with a specialist operator, held to the standards we set.
