How we are helping
Gigawatt empowers African communities in 6 ways
Powering HOPE

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 Centers for Agricultural Excellence, all off-grid, as part of M300.*
Powering BUSINESSES
through replacing diesel in commercial, industrial, and agro-processing centers and area Metro-grids.
Powering REGIONS
Green energy at scale for Regional Power Pools as part of the Continental Master Plan of the African Union.
Local Gigawatt project team members on-site in Burundi
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.
