We envision communities where children can study at night, adults have ample job opportunities, and businesses flourish. We envision countries where people are empowered by power.

Through the development and deployment of end-to-end energy solutions engineered specifically for last-mile energy and internet connectivity, we help catalyze economic growth & poverty reduction in underserved communities. By providing an affordable, safe and reliable 24/7 energy supply to homes, businesses, and public service providers, we empower households to move up the energy ladder and enhance socioeconomic activity and outcomes for local businesses and the community overall.


To meet our empowerment objectives, we’ve adopted a data-driven approach to track our impact. Drawing on a combination of consumption data, customer feedback, and ongoing evaluation of our services in the field, our impact monitoring strategy gives us insight into how customers are leveraging energy access to improve their well-being and that of the wider community. We've drawn on internationally recognized research from leading institutions like the World Bank (WB) & the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), and the Global Off-Grid Lighting Association (GOGLA) to develop metrics that capture the multi-dimensionality of energy access for our customers.

Binary metrics for tracking energy access - based on whether a household has a grid connection-  fail to capture the multifaceted
nature of access to electricity.

When it comes to thriving in modern societies, electricity is most meaningful in the context of “productive use.” Namely, this means sufficient energy supply to pump clean water on demand or accomplish some value-added economic activity for one’s own livelihood.

But, if the electricity supply from the grid is poor, this can limit its usefulness. The use of electricity may also be constrained if it is unaffordable, while illegal connections can cause significant financial losses to the utility, which may be passed on to the consumer while also increasing the risk of accidents for users.

Therefore to measure only whether or not a household has a connection to the grid does not capture the qualities of energy access that make it useful to the end-user.

To measure its own energy supply, Sigora uses the internationally recognized framework set forth by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP). The Multi-Tier Framework breaks electricity access into 6 tiers from 0-5, where successive thresholds for supply attributes allow increased use of electrical appliances.

Sigora Haiti exceeds all 6 of the highest Tier benchmark metrics.
