ENGIE PowerCorner started in 2015 as an incubation project within the ENGIE Group. In March 2016, PowerCorner commissioned its first 16 kWp mini-grid unit in Ketumbeine, a remote village in Northern Tanzania, powering 120 houses and businesses. Ketumbeine’s case demonstrated that decentralised, clean and reliable energy is a viable option in remote rural areas. Since then, ENGIE PowerCorner is developing its activities in Sub-Sahara Africa with the ambition to give access to energy to millions of people in Africa.

Our purpose is to unlock the economic potential of rural communities in Sub-Sahara Africa by enabling and promoting the development of economic activity in these communities.

Our mission is to provide affordable, clean and reliable energy services through renewable off-grid mini-grids to catalyse the economic development of rural communities.
