Lack of reliable power affects over 1 billion people across Africa…
… and leads to $20+ billion spent annually on fossil fuels for generators
Meanwhile the global energy system is evolving. We have an opportunity to leverage new technologies and modalities Our vision is to deliver a clean, reliable energy future in Africa.
The vision will be led by organizations that:
- Embrace new. climate-smart technologies:
New tech, such as distributed generation and storage, are cheaper, cleaner, smarter and faster to implement
- Integrate the "new" with best of the "old":
The best organizations and solutions leverage both. Grid infrastructure (the “old”) is still needed to deliver power to people, while the “new” renewables, prepaid smart metering, mobile payments & comms – allow for better modalities
- Deliver a high-quality customer experience:
Demand growth and customer satisfaction are the foundation to a long-term, sustainable, and top-performing power company
- Operate at scale:
Scale is critical to provide reliable power to 1 billion people across Africa
