Renewvia Energy’s Post

SolarRide Project We are happy to inform you that E-Safiri Charging Limited has received KShs. 31 Million (EUR 225,129) from Energy and Environment Partnership Trust Fund EEP Africa to support our transformative journey towards sustainable mobility, economic empowerment, and environmental stewardship in Africa. The “SolarRide" project is a visionary initiative along the shores of Lake Victoria, at Dunga beach in Kisumu and Kiumba beach in Mbita, Homabay targeting small businesses such as fish vendors and riders, as well as organized women groups engaged in agricultural activities within rural communities. Recognizing the prevalence of high operating costs resulting from increased fuel prices that burdens small businesses relying on traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The funding for the "SolarRide" project will provide affordable and sustainable transportation solutions to enhance the quality of life for rural and peri-urban residents. By facilitating access to essential services such as healthcare, education, employment, and recreation. This project aims at creating a positive ripple effect that uplifts entire communities.

Business ideas abound in many communities across #Africa. However, what often cuts those dreams short or renders them invalid, is the unavailability of reliable power. But with the provision of clean, reliable energy through for instance the deployment of clean energy mini-grids, many people's dreams are valid. Mrs Victorie, a trader in Mahasolo, #Madagascar has a dream to expand her business and has already visualized where everything in her ice-cream stand will go and is now awaiting the commissioning of the 148 kW PV plant with a lithium-ion battery containerized system project by the UEF in partnership Africa GreenTec, for her dream of becoming a renowned ice cream vendor to become a reality.   #FinancingEnergyProsperity #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #SustainableEnergy #minigrid #offgridsolar #energyaccess #SustainableDevelopment #SolarPower #SolarEnergy #SolarPanels Damilola Ogunbiyi, Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP), The Rockefeller Foundation, IKEA Foundation, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, Power Africa, Shell Foundation, The Carbon Trust, Good Energies Foundation, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Africa Minigrid Developers Association (AMDA), Bezos Earth Fund   Anita Otubu, Abdulmumini Yakubu, José Otárola-Silesky, Inès Rachel Dushime, Francesco Bisleti, Harry Gibson, Onyeka Okoye, Getty Kasole

From transforming public transport in Manila and Iloilo, to powering remote islands with renewable energy, our projects are contributing to a more efficient and climate-resilient future in the Philippines. Last Friday, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Sweden and the Philippines to unlock funding for Swedfund Project Accelerator grants and Swedish export credits in energy, transport and digitalisation. Since 2017, Swedfund's #ProjectAccelerator has been supporting sustainable transport and clean energy solutions in Southeast Asia, and we're excited to see this collaboration grow. ♻🚌💡   Check out highlights of already ongoing projects in the country. 👇 Swedfund International, Regeringskansliet, Utrikesdepartementet, Andreas Carlson, Harald Fries, Embassy of Sweden in Manila, SEK Svensk Exportkredit, EKN Exportkreditnämnden, Business Sweden, Anna Älgevik, Louise Bernander, Håkan Dahlfors, Stefan Falk

We believe in the power of inclusivity and impact, a belief that was vividly illustrated in our latest carbon credit collaboration. As part of SteelFab, Inc.’s journey to carbon neutrality, we're proud to spotlight the critical role of Mini-Grid Carbon Credits, sourced from the heart of rural Africa. 🌱 These credits represent real-life change and sustainability, verified through a robust Clean Development Mechanism developed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Among these, a shining example is a mini-grid located in Kalobeyei Refugee Settlement in Turkana, Kenya, operated by a refugee-owned enterprise, Okapi Green Energy. This impactful project is led by visionary founder Vasco Hamisi and is supported by the generous funding from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency and Power Africa, whose contributions have been pivotal in bringing renewable energy solutions to underserved communities. 💡 Okapi Green Energy is a beacon of hope and enterprise, showing the world that meaningful impact can come from any size. Renewvia stands firm in our commitment to recognizing and validating the efforts of all renewable energy producers, big or small. By aiding them in generating additional revenue through the sale of high-impact carbon super-assets, we help uplift communities and foster sustainable growth. 🤝 This transaction is a testament to Renewvia's ethos of empowering those who make a difference, ensuring that every producer has access to the carbon market. We applaud Okapi Green Energy for their exemplary work and are honored to assist them and other small owner-operators in harnessing the value of their contributions to our planet. #solarprogress #sdg7 #renewableenergy #renewableinvestment #cleanenergy #carboncredits #SteelFab #steelfabrication #corporatedecarbonization #kenya #minigrids #ruralelectrification #energyaccess #offgridsolar #refugees

It is great to see that our revolutionary PV substructure PEG® EW is also being used on a ‘small scale’ all over the world at unserved areas, bringing better working and living conditions to many people. The following advantages of the PEG® EW system are particularly appreciated for Africa GreenTec's projects: - Simple & quick installation process - Installation can be carried out by low-skilled labour - No use of heavy machinery or trench excavation required - Effective logistics due to the extremely lightweight system - approx. 2.8 MW substructure fit in a std. container (12.2 m /40 ft) - PEG® needs 78% less steel compared to conventional systems - Adaptable to different soils (including sand and rocky soils) - And last but not least: PEG is probably the PV racking system with the highest density on the market (225% more energy yield compared to fixed tilt and tracking systems) CONCLUSION: PEG racking systems reduce labour, material, installation and operating costs while providing a robust solution that provides Africa with a stable power supply. https://lnkd.in/eB4ygCaq #SolarPower #SolarEnergy #Sustainability #renewableenergy #minigrid #energyaccess #peg #teamjurchen
