Communities are increasingly turning to renewable energy sources like the sun and wind to fulfil the rising need for energy by providing clean, dependable, and safe electricity. The good news is that many of the essential technologies needed to unleash the power of these renewable resources are already available. A growing proportion of […]
A mini-grid is a self-contained power system or an integrated local generating and distribution system with an installed capacity of less than 1MW that can serve multiple end customers while remaining independent of the national grid. A mini-grid can provide reliable and affordable electricity in remote areas where population density is insufficient to justify connecting […]

It is impossible to turn raw materials […]
According to the United Nation, 3 billion of the world’s population still rely on coal, wood, charcoal, and animal waste for their cooking and heat generation. This impacts the environment in negative ways, resulting in 600,000 deaths annually. This is why the UN created Goal 7 which is divided into three targets. The first target reads […]
One of the areas of greatest concern from our prospects who are just beginning their journey into switching to renewables is the procurement of quality equipment. It is usually this challenge that leads them to us in the first place. If you, like our new clients, have been wondering how to begin your transition to […]
The lack of publicly available hybrid energy models for businesses and communities in Africa, such as hybrid mini-grids, is a barrier that must be overcome in order to overcome issues in electrification planning, regulation, life-cycle operation, finance, and funding for businesses and communities. Despite its abundant energy resources, Africa has the lowest electrification rate in […]
Indeed, while access to energy in Sub-Saharan Africa is rising, with the region’s population predicted to double from 1 billion in 2018 to over 2 billion in 2050, IMF experts predict that demand for electricity will rise by 3% yearly. Currently, the region’s primary energy sources, coal, oil, and traditional biomass (wood, charcoal, and dry […]
