Humanitarian & NGO

Electrification for communities that need it most.

Development organisations, UN agencies and NGOs require energy access for health infrastructure, refugee settlements, schools, and community facilities. We bring the same engineering rigour and accountability to humanitarian projects that we apply to commercial clients.

The challenge

What organisations in this sector face

1

Humanitarian sites often lack any grid access — off-grid design is the baseline, not an afterthought

2

Technical specifications must meet donor and DFI standards for bankable documentation

3

Multi-site programmes require consistent design standards and measurable performance outcomes

4

Local procurement and community engagement are essential for long-term sustainability

Delivered projects

Real installations. Real outcomes.

Our approach

How we size and deliver a system for your sector

01

Energy audit

We start by measuring your actual loads. 7–30 days of data logging gives us the load profile we need to size a system correctly for your operations.

02

System design

We design a hybrid system — solar, battery, grid or genset — that matches your load profile, budget, and operational requirements. No guesswork.

03

Installation & O&M

Our team installs and commissions the system. Ongoing O&M contracts ensure performance is maintained for the full system lifetime.
