In November, reports from our colleagues revealed a stark reality: universities across our African partner regions are losing access to energy.
Rising energy costs left these institutions powerless, unable to continue their operations. Instead of waiting for someone else to act, we took the lead.
At GE4A, we don’t just talk—we deliver solutions.
Solar Energy for Universities: A Lifeline
Our partners have shipped and are currently installing countless solar panels at many places in Africa.
But this isn’t our typical corporate charity move.
We’ve adopted an innovative approach through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), enabling universities to access solar energy systems without upfront costs.
PPAs are a game-changer. They allow universities to:
- Install decentralized energy systems quickly and efficiently.
- Operate without the burden of high initial investments.
- Focus on education instead of energy costs.
Where is the Profit?
Here’s how it works:
- Energy Monitoring:
Our integrated software tracks energy production and consumption in real-time. It doesn’t just measure energy—it calculates precise profit metrics, translating the value of each kilowatt into universal terms that can be applied to any market.
This ensures that profits are accurately determined, no matter the location. - Renewable Energy Certificates:
By producing Energy with our panels, we receive for each MWh produced a specific amount of these certificates.
This creates a steady revenue stream while supporting global sustainability initiatives. - Refinancing the System:
Through PPA agreements and CO2 certificate sales, we fully refinance the solar installations. Our universal value calculations allow us to adapt to any market, making this model both scalable and profitable worldwide.
The Future of Solar Energy in Africa
Though we’re in the alpha phase, the impact is already evident.
With more investment, we can accelerate installations, optimize our software, and expand this innovative model to more regions in need.
At GE4A, we’re not just building renewable energy systems; we’re creating a sustainable future for education and industry alike.
