ARC POWER’S PROMISE

AIM

Whilst designing the offering, ARC Power reviewed other solar solutions. ARC Power saw families who were unable to afford the up-front set-up and connection fees, without electricity.

Later, those same families were paying their connected neighbours, so their children could do homework under a strong light. This observation defined our fully inclusive model. There are no upfront costs aside from the initial top-up, with ARC Power at all. Instead, ARC Power install light fittings and power sockets in each connected home for free. ARC Power aims to make getting connected as streamlined as possible.

PURPOSE

Reliable power unlocks the potential for local business growth and productivity, improved education and community prosperity, through access to the internet, appliances and light after dark.

Expert skills are transferred to locally educated teams with a view to providing long-term support for the projects, key individuals and the communities.

Its roll-out target of 30 ARCs across rural Rwanda will connect circa 150,000 people to affordable, reliable and clean power.
