Africa GreenTec is a social enterprise that empowers people in the Global South to achieve more self-determination and growth through sustainable energy solutions.
Current Status
More than 22 ImpactSites are already operating in 4 countries (Mali, Senegal, Niger, and Madagascar).
Problem or Opportunity
More than 600 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa have no access to electricity.
Solution (product or service)
With the ImpactSite, Africa GreenTec has developed a holistic systems solution that makes it possible to supply entire village communities in rural regions with electricity and sustainable technologies. We’ve taken electricity to the next level by developing an intelligent system that can withstand the harsh conditions of off-grid regions in Africa – outperforming even modern European standards.
Business model
AGT AG is the system provider and project developer of the AGT Group and is based in Germany. Its direct customers are companies that operate its systems. These are either their own subsidiaries or third parties such as local cooperatives (financed through CSR budgets or foundations).
AGTs subsidiaries (e.g. AGT Niger) are located in sub-Saharan Africa and sell the electricity and other services of the ImpactSite (cooling, internet, etc.) to AGT end customers.
