Ruaha is an independent, green energy company that develops, owns, and operates renewable energy systems in underserved rural markets in Africa. We specialize in grid connected utility-scale projects (1-10 megawatts), and off-grid village based projects (10-100 kilovolts). Our systems employ both standalone and hybrid technologies including solar PV, biofuel, and run-of-river hydropower. We strive to implement sustainable, clean energy solutions that optimize the renewable energy resources available in each market or village we serve. At the village level, we develop “beyond the grid” solutions, building micro-power plants and installing isolated micro-grid networks. In other rural markets we build utility scale facilities to deliver additional power to the local grid, which often suffers from outages, power fluctuations, and exhibits intermittent supply characteristics. Ruaha Energy aims to help unlock the entrepreneurial potential of our customers, thereby increasing their capacity and ability to employ value-added agro-processing, light manufacturing, refrigeration, woodworking, and metal working activities in their communities. Our contribution: we bring “power to the people” by increasing our customer’s access to modern and sustainable energy delivery systems.
