They exist to change lives
They set the benchmark for off-grid solar in Africa. With the broadest range of clean energy products and services available on the continent, we cover every customer need, while protecting the environment and accelerating the green energy transition. They are passionately inclusive so that their innovative solutions remain affordable – while performing to the highest level. As part of ENGIE, they are the long-term partner to Africa for its growing population's energy needs.
Meeting Africa’s challenge
Access to electricity is a human right. Yet over 600 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa lack access to clean, safe and affordable energy. Many families have to rely on dangerous, dirty energy sources like kerosene or unreliable energy products with no after-sales care. They are changing this, one household at a time.
The ENGIE standard
They are passionately engaged in bringing premium quality and affordable solar energy to millions of people throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.
With Africa’s population predicted to double by 2050, including a growing middle class requiring a more energy-intensive lifestyle, we are working hard to reach the last mile.
Their customer-centric approach and productive use solutions equip remote, off-grid households to break the cycle of energy poverty and build a brighter future.
Their guiding principles
Their Mission: Deliver life-changing, affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions with exceptional customer experience.
Their Purpose: Improve quality of life and economic potential of grid-deficient communities.
Their Ambition: Be a leading decentralized energy company that impacts 20 million lives by 2025.
The journey to transformation
They are pioneers in clean energy. They saw that the connections between mobile connectivity, solar PV accessibility and financial technology offered the answer to solving the global challenge of connecting communities living far from the electricity grid.
They worked at the forefront of the solar revolution for several years – developing their skills in 3 leading off-grid companies: Fenix International, Mobisol and ENGIE PowerCorner.
In 2020, the ENGIE Group brought them together into one unified entity so that they can deliver even more transformation to global communities. And so ENGIE Energy Access was born.
Scaling up with ENGIE
ENGIE is a global energy leader that has been supporting communities' energy needs for over 200 years. The Group has extensive experience in Africa, having been active on the continent for more than 50 years, and started researching extending energy access to all in 2018.
With the combined forces of their pioneering teams’ expertise, the broad range of their three product portfolios, and the backing of ENGIE – they are scaling up to be at the forefront of change.
