Tech Power Services: Rubaya Mini-Grid Project

Tech Power is going to implement a 40kW smart microgrid in the rural community of Rubaya, with an economically active community of more than 50 agribusinesses requiring electricity to provide reliable services. Micro-grids have been identified as a cost-effective solution to bring power to unserved, rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa due to their ability to function independently from the main grid in addition of the ability to power economically productive uses that go above and beyond supporting basic life needs. A major anchor customer would be COOPAGRI-Kivu. Their member will be using our energy produced to reduce post-harvest losses via the introduction of renewable energy-powered cold storage technology and agro-processing activities.
