Core Projects

Our core projects are ongoing field activities that our local partners are implementing. Their aim is to test and demonstrate the viability of decentralised renewable energy solutions and their potential to facilitate sustainable development.

The projects utilise innovative approaches that go beyond the technical aspects of clean energy. Community involvement, reliable ownership and management schemes, as well as sustainable business models are also key foci of our core projects. We continue to advance our mission to empower people and communities to be the drivers of their transformation.
