Introduction
In Tanzania some 10 years ago, there was a critical need for access to energy that was simply not being met, despite the best efforts of energy services providers to find solutions. The grid was not able to meet the growing needs of the people. Businesses were trying in vain to solve this problem, but were only addressing the issue with individual point solutions, unable to scale as the need continued to increase. Expensive, dirty, inefficient and unreliable energy solutions were used to breach the gap between what that grid was providing and the actual needs for energy.
The Challenge
- Rapid deployment and scaling operations is a challenge due to resource constraints, manual processes, and geographical barriers.
- Sales and service processes can be inefficient and time-consuming, leading to poor customer experiences and a high cost of service.
- Securing financing is an additional hurdle, particularly SMEs, as traditional avenues like bank loans and venture capital may not be accessible or viable.
- Delivering quality service, such as effective support and implementing monitoring systems, is complex and resource-intensive. Existing integrator models are not sustainable and are unable to provide community level electrification.
