Reliable, Cheaper and Cleaner Energy Sources for African Businesses
Empower New Energy has modernised and simplified the way for businesses to have access to their own solar power. For companies that have access to roof and ground space, there is no need to rely solely on expensive power from the grid or diesel-generated power. Together with our local partners, we provide an optimized solar PV solution reducing your energy costs whilst lowering your carbon and environmental footprint.
With the comfort of a long-term Power Purchase or Power Support Agreement, you can rely on Empower to take care of the construction, maintenance, and supply of electricity directly to your load, as well as monitoring and reporting, with no upfront payments from your side.
Empower New Energy’s solution means your business can start saving money from the first day of operation. Through our innovative partnership model, we have made it easier than ever for African businesses to attract international investment.
