Our innovative C&I solutions deliver cost efficient energy access and storage that is highly scalable.
Working in partnership with commercial entities we develop bespoke energy supply solutions that help revolutionise energy supply and access through pre-funded schemes.
Electrification provides access to the internet, appliances and light after dark, unlocking the potential for local business growth, productivity, improved education and community prosperity.
This partnership marks a new chapter for the potential of sustainable energy and agricultural innovation in Africa.
Energy access has the power to transform lives.
In 2024 we signed an agreement with Volkswagen Mobility Solutions Rwanda (VWMSR) to launch Rwanda’s first Empowerment Hub, a solar-powered platform designed to revolutionise agriculture and energy access, helping advance Rwanda’s Vision 2050 of transforming the economy into a high-income nation by 2050.
This project, driven by VWMSR on behalf of Volkswagen Group Africa, was initiated by Volkswagen Group Innovation in Germany. The aim was to develop an e-Hub project that addressed the potential of renewable energy to provide a sustainable solution for agriculture, helping to shape mobility in Africa for generations to come.
ARC Power has installed 100kW of grid-tied solar power generation to provide direct power to the e-Hub for mechanising agricultural process and maximising outputs. The e-Hub includes 5 electric tractors which can be rented on an hourly basis to plough/ harvest land, cold storage, electric milling and aggregation of farmers’ produce to sell to larger wholesalers at scale.
ARC Power’s proprietary software platform supports DRE system design, solar generation, storage, metering, billing, CRM, and automated grid operations for improved management.
ARC’s groundbreaking FUSE model, in partnership with The International Finance Corporation (IFC), guaranteed by MIGA, is an innovative solution to accelerate clean energy access throughout Africa.
In November 2024 ARC Power unveiled a pilot Gen Farm project in partnership with Volkswagen Mobility Solutions Rwanda (VWMSR).
Designed to support agriculture mechanisation, sustainable mobility, and local entrepreneurship, this groundbreaking solar-powered E-HUB, The Empowerment Hub, was developed in partnership with Volkswagen Mobility Solutions Rwanda (VWMSR) on behalf of Volkswagen Group Africa.
