• Okapi Green Energy Limited Kakuma Refugee Camp

Power Supplies

We provide reliable, clean electricity to Kakuma Refugee Camp through innovative solar mini-grid systems. We've developed an innovative, scalable microgrid system that delivers clean, reliable electricity to over 250 both households and businesses daily. Our systems replace dangerous and expensive energy sources like kerosene lamps and diesel generators, providing 24/7 power through a network of solar panels, battery storage, and smart meters.

Featured by UNHCR as a model refugee-led enterprise, our pay-as-you-go energy solution makes electricity affordable for all camp residents. We've installed 20 kW of solar capacity across the camp, reducing CO2 emissions by 14 tons annually. Our team of refugee technicians maintains the entire system, ensuring 99% uptime even in harsh conditions.

We partner with NGOs and private sector leaders to continuously expand our grid's reach while keeping costs low for residents. Our innovative financing model allows families to pay for power through mobile money in small, manageable increments.

Testimonials

Since Okapi Green Energy Limited installed solar systems in our area, I am using its energy for both my home and business place. The affordability and sustainability of the power supply have transformed sales of soft drinks in my shop, since the power is so strong it cool drinks in the fridge at a short period. I am happy to use the energy since its more cost effective.
The free training I received from Okapi Green Energy Limited in solar installation and electrical maintenance has been life-changing. I’ve started freelancing as a solar installation technician and managing my own small business of selling electrical parts, and I’m now financially independent.
Through Okapi’s job placement program, I secured an internship that led to a permanent job with Renewvia a renewable energy firm in Kalobeyei Settlement. The networking events introduced me to mentors who guided my career path and experience.
