RDG Collective

Empowering Women through Renewable Energy I am thrilled to share an incredible experience I had recently, leading a delegation from the Swedish Embassy to showcase our renewable energy products. Our mission is to empower businesses and communities by providing access to affordable Productive Use Energy appliances, and this visit was a testament to the impact we are making. During our visit to Soweto Market, we had the privilege of meeting a remarkable woman-led business that has transformed its operations with the help of our solar energy solutions. This business, equipped with a solar fridge, is now able to provide clean water to the marketeers at Soweto Market. The solar fridge not only ensures the availability of safe drinking water but also enhances the overall health and well-being of the community. This initiative is a shining example of how renewable energy can drive economic empowerment and improve the quality of life for women entrepreneurs. By providing access to sustainable energy solutions, we are enabling women to run their businesses more efficiently, reduce operational costs, and contribute to a greener future. I am incredibly proud of the progress we are making and the positive impact we are having on communities. Together, we can continue to support and empower women entrepreneurs, fostering a more inclusive and sustainable economy. RDG Collective Let's keep pushing forward and making a difference! #SDGgoals

Our Founder and CEO, Rune Gunnar Dige, will be speaking on day 1 at this years #GOGSFE24. Check out the details below for what will be an exciting discussion. Session: Outside the Box: multi-sectoral cooperation for sustainable scaling of solar irrigation Description Solar irrigation can provide a cost-effective and sustainable way to increase food production and improve agricultural livelihoods. However, the success of solar irrigation is dependent on the ecosystem that surrounds the technology such as complementary inputs related to agriculture, water and financing. This session will explore the ways that multi-sectoral approaches can address barriers to the adoption of solar irrigation, and how systemic change can result in a rapid acceleration of scale and impact.
