Renewvia Energy in Africa
(Renewvia Energy is Certified B Corporation Renewvia’s whose mission is to add value and improve quality of life across the globe.)
With two subsidiaries in Kenya and Nigeria, Renewvia has a large and growing presence in key markets across Africa, where the company builds, installs and operates minigrids: standalone power system that operate autonomously from a country’s main power supply. The company’s Rural Microgrid Development and Operation Model is designed to scale reliable power in areas that are either unserved by conventional utilities, or ineligible for grid extension. We construct standalone and hybrid solar photovoltaic and battery-powered plants that can accommodate additional capacity from wind or other sources of electricity.
MINIGRID DEVELOPMENT
Minigrids do not just bring reliable, clean electricity to communities for the first time, they transform lives. Suddenly, where there was no electricity or light, children study at night, businesses expand and buy new appliances, and new business ideas come to life. Simply, reliable electricity is a foundational element for a community to lift itself up and achieve economic growth.
