Integrating Sustainable Technologies to create a ‘Distributed Renewable Energy System’ for Clean Cooking, Milling and Cooling in Nigeria and DRC.

Partners: Mobile Power

Country: Nigeria

Technology: Next generation solar technologies and business models

Stage: Late

Stage: Round 10

Mobile Power has a unique power delivery ecosystem and business model through installing solar-powered battery charging Hubs (MOPO Hubs). Batteries are rented via a ‘pay-per-use’ model at 70-80% lower cost than fossil fuel alternatives. This project aims to integrate innovative clean energy technologies within Mobile Power’s energy ecosystem to replace fossil-fuel generators and wood-biomass for cooking in rural Nigeria and DRC. It will demonstrate a solution that integrates generation, distribution and use of clean-energy in rural settings. The project uses Pyrogenesys’ waste-to-energy technology to generate electricity that will be distributed by Mobile Power’s battery storage technology to power clean cooking, grain milling, and sustainable cooling. These integrated technologies will be demonstrated in 100 rural off-grid communities in new markets, demonstrating a commercially scalable product and services that will unlock future sales and further investment.
