What We Do

We deliver electric power to low-income African households. One battery at a time. Welcome to the portable grid!

80% of Tanzanians live within 5 km of the power grid. 90% of them lack access to electricity. We aim to bridge the gap between household and grid by implementing a simple, safe and affordable market-based solution.

1. We take power from a grid or off-grid power station and package it into portable, rechargeable, and affordable batteries. Each battery is about the size of a brick and lasts about five nights in a typical household.

2. Each battery is rented to a customer in exchange for a subscription fee.

3. Customers can exchange their depleted battery for a fully charged one at any time, by paying a small swapping fee at a nearby EGG-energy charging depot.

We’re the Netflix of batteries, only instead of movies, we deliver power.
