Our vision
CONTEXT
Limited access to electricity remains one the main drags on Africa’s development and prosperity and still traps millions of people in extreme poverty.
650
Million Africans are deprived of electricity
OUR CONVICTION
We believe it is possible to develop access to both electricity and employment by creating a new electrification model for Africa, progressive and modular, based on renewable energies, information and communication technologies and local entrepreneurship. We called this model Lateral electrification.
Our solution
The solution developed by Nanoe is the combination of two innovations: a technological innovation and an innovative organizational approach.
OUR TECHNOLOGY :
SOLAR NANO-GRIDS
Nano-grids developed by Nanoé are collective solar systems delivering power to 4 to 6 households, who use mobile prepayments to purchase daily access to an electrical service adapted to their needs.
Nano-grids can be connected together or within a larger grid and they are :
- Ecological
- Affordable
- Flexible
- Upgradeable
- Smart
OUR APPROACH :
THE ENTREPRENEURIAL PLATFORM
Nanoé has developed an organisational approach which aims at building a local decentralized electrification platform composed of small entrepreneurs (called « Nano-entrepreneurs ») in charge of building and operating Nano-grids.
Nanoé services are focused on capacity building by facilitating nano-entrepreneurs’ access to :
- Finance
- Equipment
- Training
- Methods and Tools
- Marketing
Our action
Where?
The area chosen for our pilot project is the Ambanja district in Diana region in the North-west of Madagascar, where less than 5% of the population has access to electricity. …
When?
The first systems have been deployed mid-2017. More than 2000 households have now access to Nanoe electrical services. Our next target : 1000 nanogrids and 5000 households electrified by the …
