The Problem: Self Generation 40GW small fuel generators in use 80 million litres of fuel, About $44 million wasted every day, more than 70 million tons CO2 a year,

Powering Small & Medium Enterprises

Why Women-Owned SMEs Reinvest up to 90% of their income in education, healthcare, children’s welfare 43% of MSMEs (16 million) are women owned Social Capital - distribution networks built on, use case, influence on buying/spending decisions, trust Multiplier effect – reducing poverty, improving economic growth for individual, household and community

Energy Access & Women Economic Empowerment Approach Investors Access to Energy for Women Owned SMEs Technology supply Access to Finance Partnerships

Targeted Energy for Productive Use Access Underserved on-grid with unreliable power supply mostly in urban areas Unserved off-grid without access to infrastructure or power supply from the grid, mostly in rural areas Ability to Pay for electricity Currently pay for power supply from grid or other alternative source such as fuel generators Need Fall within Tier 3 and Tier 5 service requirement, with power needed for productive use / income generating activities.
