Mission

To develop and deliver reliable, affordable and sustainable energy infrastructure that supports economic growth in Somalia.

Our approach

How we work.

  • Integrated delivery

    One partner from development through operations means fewer interfaces, lower cost and clearer accountability.

  • Bankable projects

    We structure projects to meet the technical, commercial and financial requirements of investors and lenders.

  • Practical technology

    We match solutions to local grid conditions, fuel costs and demand, not to a standard catalogue.

  • Long-term operation

    We stay involved after commissioning, operating and optimising the infrastructure we build.

Somalia's energy transition

Our role in Somalia's energy future.

A more reliable and affordable electricity system supports businesses, public services and economic growth. kWh works on three fronts.

  • Lower-cost generation

    Solar, storage and hybrid systems that reduce the cost of supply and dependence on imported fuel.

  • Stronger networks

    Distribution and metering infrastructure that delivers power reliably and reduces losses.

  • Smarter demand

    Energy management and flexibility that use existing capacity more efficiently.
