Kowry Energy, an energy service provider with a focus on sustainability, primarily provides power in sub-Saharan Africa. Within 16 months of the company’s incorporation, they reported that four decentralized solar energy systems in Nigeria, Senegal, and Mali had been successfully put into service.
The successfully commissioned projects are the first of several forming portfolios in each country that will be realized within three years. The analysis of the data provided by these digitized systems can provide solutions to drive demand management while accelerating the growth of local economies.
Nigeria
On behalf of Proserve Energy Services, two 286kWp PV solar energy systems were designed for a plastic recycling plant and a food processing plant in Abuja. This replaced 50% and almost 100%, respectively, of demand, mainly from diesel generators. The rooftop-mounted solar systems collectively reduce CO2 emissions by 208,521kg per annum.
Senegal
Kowry Energy designed a 10 kWp PV decentralized solar energy system with battery storage for Sud Solar Systems. It provides access to green and affordable electricity to two public buildings and seven micro-enterprises in the community of Bani in Southern Senegal.
The system was designed to support income-generating activities to unlock the community’s economic potential.
Mali
A 69kWp PV hybrid energy system with battery storage and a backup generator was commissioned for Access Energie in Djine, an agriculture hub in the cotton belt of Mali. The project will provide reliable electricity to 3,000 residents, 40 businesses and ten public buildings.
