- Engie Energy enters into an agreement with the Gabonese government for renewable energy deployment.
- The firm will electrify about 40,000 homes with solar home systems.
Engie Energy Access has signed an agreement with the Gabonese government to deploy solar home systems in households not served by the national grid. The project will run for five years and electrify 40,000 homes.
The Engie Energy Access project is anticipated to benefit 200,000 people. In addition to household electrification, the company led by Gillian-Alexandre Huart is also expected to electrify schools, health care facilities, small businesses, and other small and medium enterprises (SMEs). “The social impact cannot be overlooked either, as women will be the beneficiaries of more than a third of the resulting employment opportunities,” Gillian-Alexandre Huart assures.
Engie Energy Access exclusively provides decentralized solar-based electricity access solutions through its subsidiaries Fenix International, Engie Mobisol, and Engie PowerCorner. In Gabon, the electricity access provider plans to begin deploying its solutions through a pilot project to be launched in April 2022.
