1.2 billion people throughout the world do not have access to electricity. An additional 800 million do not have access to enough reliable electricity to fulfill basic requirements of participating in the modern economy including basic household needs of light. Energicity develops solar powered minigrids which provide off-grid communities the energy they need for household needs, entertainment, and community and commercial needs like agricultural processing, and health care. In other words, Energicity provides the energy families and communities need to thrive.
What We Do
- Energicity builds, owns and operates solar powered minigrids for off grid
communities with more than 100 households. Our solar powered minigrids
provide 24 hour electricity to communities using solar and battery storage. The
company distributes AC electricity to its end customers metered at each
individual household. Energicity’s electricity is: - Affordable – basic electricity service allowing for led lights, cell phone
charging and hours of television is comparable to the cost of power on
the national grid and 15-25% of the cost of household expenditures on
the batteries and kerosene lamps that families used as substitutes. - Reliable – Since initiation of service in October of 2015 our minigrids have
a 99%+ service availability rate. - Scalable – Our customers – having received electricity for the first time in
their lives – use electricity for light, refrigeration, fans, satellite tv’s and
any other use they desire. Additionally in our projects we provide
electricity to clinics, cold stores and are looking forward to supporting
agricultural processing uses.- Energicity’s solution includes its proprietary customer information management
billing and messaging platform. The platform allows its customers to receive bills
and pay via text message from any cell network in Ghana. - As operators of our minigrids, Energicity emphasizes quality construction,
thorough preventative maintenance, and personal customer service.
