Within the first 16 months of the company’s existence, Kowry Energy, a sustainability-driven energy service provider focused on power provision across Sub-Saharan Africa, commissioned four decentralized solar energy systems in Nigeria, Senegal, and Mali.
Kowry Energy is a provider of hybrid energy systems that are both effective and economical, and they have the ability to strengthen communities and businesses. By doing an analysis of the data that these digitized systems make available, it is possible to come up with solutions that will both drive demand management and accelerate the expansion of local economies.
The projects given the green light are the first of many that will be done in each country over the next three years to create portfolios are:
For Nigeria: On behalf of Proserve Energy Services, Kowry Energy designed two 286 kWp PV solar energy systems for a plastic recycling plant and a food processing plant in Abuja. This system will replace fifty per cent and almost one hundred per cent, respectively, of the demand previously met primarily by diesel generators. The solar panels that are put on the roof contribute to a total annual reduction in CO2 emissions of 208,521 kg.

For Senegal: Two public buildings and seven micro-enterprises in the community of Bani in Southern Senegal now have access to clean and affordable electricity thanks to a decentralized solar energy system designed by Kowry Energy and installed by Sud Solar Systems. The system has a capacity of 10 kWp and battery storage. So that the community can reach its full economic potential, the system was made to make it easier for people to do things that make money.
For Mali: Access Energie commissioned Kowry Energy to build a photovoltaic (PV) hybrid energy system with battery storage and a backup generator to be installed in Djine, an agricultural hub located in the cotton belt of Mali. The project will make it possible for 3,000 residents, 40 businesses, and ten public buildings to access reliable energy.
“Countries across Africa have resiliently emerged from the pandemic and now face the uncertainty and challenges brought about by climate change, food and water insecurity,” said Ndiarka Mbodji, CEO and Founder of Kowry Energy. We have worked closely with our customers to remove unnecessary barriers to the growth of businesses in the local communities that they serve. Reliable and affordable clean electricity is the backbone of any economy, from which everlasting societal foundations can be built, and sustainable development can take place. These pilot projects validate our concept and demonstrate the market’s appetite for our one-of-a-kind solution.
We’re looking forward to getting closer to our customers and business partners in West Africa and growing our business across the whole of Africa.
