Africa has its own unique challenges, and innovation here is born out of necessity. One shining example is how we have reimagined access to clean energy. Solar power is the obvious solution to our energy challenges. The sun shines abundantly across the continent, offering limitless potential for renewable energy. Yet for many, the high upfront cost of solar systems has been a significant barrier. But does that mean we should remain stuck in the past, relying on polluting and expensive energy sources? No. We innovate. African countries have widely embraced the pay-as-you-go (PAYG) solar model, a solution that is as practical as it is revolutionary. Instead of requiring families to pay the full cost of a solar system upfront, companies like M-KOPA (Kenya), Bboxx (Rwanda), and ZOLA Electric (Tanzania) allow customers to make a small deposit and pay for the system in affordable installments, often through mobile money platforms like Safaricom PLC's Mpesa. This approach is transformative because it meets people where they are. It acknowledges that many African households may not have the means to afford a solar system all at once but can manage smaller, consistent payments. By adapting to the realities of our communities, the PAYG solar model does more than provide clean energy; it empowers people to improve their quality of life on their terms. This is what sustainability should do: solve real problems in ways that work for the people and communities it serves. Is Pay as you go solar the key to unlocking Africa’s renewable energy potential?

The first pillar of our sustainability strategy is to promote socio-economic prosperity within the countries in which we operate. Access to energy is essential for economic development and human progress and is positively correlated with many other key human development metrics including those associated with educational attainment, life expectancy and quality of life. Energy is clearly therefore the critical enabler of human activity. Savannah’s gas enables approximately 20% of Nigeria’s thermal power generation capacity. In Niger, we are participating in a wider energy sector project which is forecast to contribute up to 13% of Niger’s GDP by 2025. Through our Renewable Energy Division, we aim to deliver utility-scale renewable energy projects across Africa, generating clean, competitively priced electricity for millions of households. Currently we have up to 696 MW in renewable energy projects in motion. Read more about how we are promoting the socio-economic prosperity of our host countries, aligned with UN SDGs 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 16, in our 2023 Sustainability Review. https://bit.ly/3VpTOmM

Switching to renewable energy is one of the most impactful steps individuals, businesses, and governments can take to secure a sustainable future. Switching to renewable energy is one of the most impactful steps individuals, businesses, and governments can take to secure a sustainable future. Here's why we should all make the transition: 1. Environmental Benefits Reduce Carbon Footprint: Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric produce little to no greenhouse gas emissions. Combat Climate Change: Transitioning to renewables helps mitigate global warming by decreasing reliance on fossil fuels. Preserve Natural Resources: Fossil fuels are finite, while renewables are abundant and sustainable. 2. Economic Advantages Energy Independence: Relying on local renewable energy reduces dependence on imported fuels. Job Creation: The renewable energy sector generates millions of jobs globally, from manufacturing to installation and maintenance. Cost Savings: Solar and wind energy are now among the cheapest forms of energy, offering long-term savings. 3. Health Improvements Cleaner Air: Fossil fuel combustion contributes to air pollution, leading to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Renewables offer cleaner energy solutions. Safer Communities: Eliminating hazardous waste from coal and oil reduces risks to ecosystems and public health. 4. Energy Access and Equity Universal Access: Decentralized renewable energy systems can bring power to remote and underserved communities. Empowerment: Small-scale solar systems allow individuals and communities to take control of their energy needs. How You Can Make the Switch Homeowners: Install solar panels, use solar water heaters, or subscribe to community solar programs. Businesses: Invest in renewable energy systems and purchase green energy credits. Governments: Prioritize policies and incentives that promote renewable energy adoption. Individuals: Support organizations and initiatives advocating for clean energy, and encourage others to do the same. The future is renewable. By making the switch today, we ensure a healthier planet for future generations. #2D Universal Concepts Nigeria Limited#

Did you know, renewable energy is now cheaper than Utility energy to business in SA. The average cost of electricity in towns, cities and metros is now +R3.70/kWh - up 12.75% in July 2024. Battery & solar installation ROI is between 1.5 and 6 years on average and you have backup when Eskom load shedding inevitably returns. Load shedding is no longer the only reason why you need solar and batteries to manage and reduce energy costs in your business. It now pay you to install renewable energy in your business, shopping centre and industrial sites. With innovative funding and the 125% SARS tax rebate it works our cheaper to buy renewable energy systems which are financed by your bank. A Power JunXion Rent-to-Own business asset based financed solar & battery packages over 3,5,7,8,10,15 or 20 years (payments are tax deductible) are mostly cheaper than utility energy when comparing today’s R/kWh for energy supply. What is more, over the next 20 years renewable financed systems have a fixed 6% per annum increase compared to the average 13% Eskom increases. The savings over 20 years from financed renewable business systems is remarkable and you have batteries to give you power when Eskom cuts out.

Harnessing the Sun: Solar Energy's Potential for Philippine Households Introduction: The Promise of Solar Power in the Philippines The Philippines, a nation blessed with abundant sunshine, stands at a unique juncture where the potential of solar energy can be strategically harnessed to address pressing energy challenges and propel sustainable development. With a growing population and increasing demand for electricity, the imperative to explore and adopt renewable energy sources has never been more crucial. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology offers a compelling solution to mitigate dependence on fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide a cleaner and more reliable power source for Filipino households. Advantages of Solar Energy for Philippine Homes Economic Benefits The shift to solar energy presents significant long-term economic advantages for homeowners. While the initial investment in a solar panel system might seem substantial, the operational costs are minimal, primarily involving occasional cleaning and maintenance. Moreover, electricity bills can be significantly reduced... Read more https://lnkd.in/gFZ_8K9M...
