Empower your community

Energy that works - for everyone

Pioneering power projects for underserved communities

Gigawatt empowers African communities in 6 ways

Powering HOPE
through utility-scale solar fields, with mini-grids* and (optional) battery storage.
Powering LIVELIHOODS
via Abundance Centers to quadruple women farmers’ incomes: solar fields co-located with community-based agro-processing centers and mini-grids.*
Powering EDUCATION
with clean (diesel-free) electricity for universities, polytechnics, and youth villages: mini-grids,* knowledge transfer, and capacity-building.
Powering VILLAGES
with our Energy Impact Hubs* and Agricultural Excellence Centers, so that off-grid health clinics and cold-food storage are dependably powered.
Powering BUSINESSES
through replacing diesel in commercial, industrial, and agro-processing centers and area Metro-grids.
Powering REGIONS
with Regional Power Pools that distribute green energy to multiple African countries (supporting the African Union’s Continental Master Plan)
*Fostering Mission 300’s aim to connect 300 million people to electricity in Africa by 2030

We work hand-in-hand with local communities to assess needs, design solutions, and build trust –unlocking often overlooked sources of transformative change in the local economy.

Often the greatest impact factor is the inclusion of women and support to establish economic opportunities involving solar power.

This approach ensures long-term success, ownership, and self-propelling development, from the ground up.

These projects are funded through investments in Gigawatt Global and grants to Gigawatt Impact.

What Gigawatt has achieved

Gigawatt brings renewable electricity to African villages, universities, entrepreneurs, agriculture, health care, and businesses – increasing global innovation and reducing poverty at the same time.

Listen locally

We begin by understanding local energy needs and identifying viable opportunities. From early studies through engineering, installation, and maintenance, we prioritize local companies, expertise, and employment wherever possible.

Create solutions and alliances

We develop creative financial models that help de-risk promising projects and build the partnerships needed to move them forward, bringing together governments, investors, development institutions, donors, and industry partners.

Sustain lasting impact

We turn carefully developed plans into operating renewable energy projects, with long-term maintenance and partnerships designed to support reliable energy access, economic opportunity, and lasting community impact.
