Mobile Power’s energy distribution platform “MOPO”, is successfully serving challenging markets, creating local employment, and providing financial and social returns. The platform offers customers a community-based, agent-led Battery-As-A-Service product that enables them rent 50Wh-1000Wh lithium-ion batteries for 24-hour periods.
The DART programme aims to accelerate the growth of the renewable energy sector in Nigeria and beyond by combining demand pooling and aggregated purchasing of solar equipment, access to affordable finance and coordinated logistics processes to unlock economies of scale for solar companies and achieve cost savings for end users.
