About Us
Rethinking energy system modeling for Africa's sustainable future.
Our Mission
We're building a new generation of energy system models that reflect Africa's unique realities. Our mission is to drive sustainable development across the continent through locally-informed, data-driven energy planning.
Local Expertise
Building models that reflect African realities, not external assumptions. We combine technical expertise with deep local knowledge.
African Context
Developing solutions that address Africa's unique challenges and opportunities in energy access and climate resilience.
Impact Focus
Creating practical tools that drive real change in energy planning and sustainable development.
The Challenge We're Solving
Traditional energy system models often fail to capture Africa's unique context. Most are designed for industrialized nations and rely on assumptions that don't reflect local realities. This mismatch leads to suboptimal planning and investment decisions.
We're addressing these key challenges:
- •Incorporating local economic patterns beyond traditional GDP metrics for more accurate modeling
- •Integrating high-quality local data and spatial analysis for better decision-making
- •Balancing urgent development needs with long-term climate considerations
- •Supporting evidence-based policy decisions through robust data analysis
Our Approach
We combine technical expertise with deep local knowledge to create energy models that work for Africa. Our methodology focuses on:
- •Developing models from first principles rather than adapting external frameworks
- •Incorporating local data and expertise throughout the modeling process
- •Building open, collaborative frameworks that enable knowledge sharing
- •Creating practical tools that facilitate real-world implementation
Join Our Mission
We're always looking to collaborate with organizations and researchers passionate about energy access and sustainable development in Africa.
