Offers for the base of the pyramidCreating products, solutions & business models for reliable affordable and clean access to energy
Today, the poorest populations spend up to 30 per cent of their revenue to obtain energy that is often unreliable and harmful to the environment and their health. Schneider Electric provides not only products and solutions, but also training, funding, and consulting services. These services fulfil the need for energy access in a sustainable manner, relying on local populations and economic ecosystems. In 2010, we accelerated the development of new products and solutions to meet the needs of a safe, affordable, and green access to energy in different countries. Affordable solutions for remote and isolated placesThe In-Diya LED lighting system launched in February 2010 has been deployed in India and introduced in Africa. An offer for battery-charging management has also been introduced to ensure safe charging of basic electronic appliances, as well as improved battery life.
Solutions to power and support village developmentSchneider Electric provides complete solutions, from renewable off-grid power generation to battery charging stations and water pumping systems. These solutions can support the energy needs of an entire village, and thus foster a sustainable economic and social development around local entrepreneurs, basic infrastructure (health facilities, schools, grocery stores, etc.), and entertainment activities.
