DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
Energy One Africa operates in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) where only 9% of the population has access to electricity, leaving more than 70 million people without access.
Energy One Africa is building the energy solution that hard to reach markets needs, providing reliable and affordable solar power products, as well as specialized training for local community electrification leaders. The approach consists of enabling community-led electrification by providing solar power training sessions on installation and sales before developing local distribution projects with local people.
