Healthcare sub-sector
Reliable electricity for primary care facilities across Uganda.
Public and private health centres often have the worst grid reliability and the least margin to absorb power costs. We design affordable, low-maintenance solar and battery systems sized specifically for primary healthcare operations.

The challenge
Why primary care facilities need dedicated energy solutions.
Grid access is absent or highly unreliable at the primary care level — health centres rely entirely on generators or go without
Vaccine cold chains are compromised during outages, resulting in wasted stock and interrupted immunisation programmes
Maternity and emergency services operate without reliable lighting, increasing risk to patients and staff
Generator fuel costs consume a disproportionate share of facility operating budgets
Development finance institutions and donor programmes require standardised, bankable energy specifications
What we deliver
Solar solutions built for primary healthcare.
Vaccine cold chain protection
Solar-powered refrigeration with battery backup, sized for WHO cold chain requirements. Monitored remotely for temperature excursions.
Maternity and OPD lighting
LED lighting circuits powered by solar and battery — operational 24/7 regardless of grid status.
Medical equipment power
Stable, clean power for diagnostic equipment, point-of-care devices, and communications systems.
Off-grid and grid-hybrid options
System designed around your site: fully off-grid where grid is absent, hybrid where partial grid access exists.
DFI-ready documentation
Energy audits, load profiles, system specifications, and financial models prepared to development finance standards.
O&M support
Preventive maintenance schedules, remote monitoring, and trained local technicians for long-term performance.
