Building economic engines, not just power assets and mini grids

We start by powering rural areas with sustainable energy—hydro, solar, or hybrid systems- we unlock growth through productive use equipment, microfinancing, digital tools, and smart technologies. From coffee bagging to milling, crowdfarming to mobility—we co-create thriving village economies using the latest technology and a mobile-first approach.

We provide sustainable, clean energy solutions using local renewable resources like solar or hydropower, tailored to each community's needs.

Why Sub-Saharan Africa?

The night time satellite image tells the story- over 660 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa lack access to power. We turn on the lights, bring opportunity,  create jobs, raise incomes, and improve quality of life—unlocking entrepreneurial potential leading to innovation, commerce, and progress.

Empowering communities by delivering equitable, reliable, sustainable, and afforable energy

At Ruaha Energy, we don’t just light up villages—we help them leap ahead. Whether you're a partner, investor, cheerleader or changemaker, join us in transforming rural economies—one village at a time.

What we deliver

We offer more than power. We deliver real tools for transformation:

"Since electricity arrived, I opened a small shop with a fridge for cold drinks and fish. People come from neighboring villages, and I am now employing two young men."

"We used to spend hours collecting firewood. With the new energy system, I use an electric cooker for my family. It saves time, and my children can study in the evening."

"Before the mini-grid, we closed our milling machine early because of kerosene costs. Now with Ruaha’s electricity, I can run it longer and serve more farmers. My income has doubled."
