FINANCIALLY VIABLE & ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE RURAL ELECTRIFICATION

Helping the people of Haiti tap the power of the sun.
Our mission is to power and empower communities in Haiti with clean, reliable, and fairly- priced energy. Our financeable micro-utility model scales electrification faster, cheaper, and more effectively than existing solutions. Our complete energy management system incorporates smart metering hardware, revenue and demand management software, remote monitoring capabilities, pre-paid (PAYG) mobile payments, and integrated anti-theft capabilities, all engineered for frontier markets. The result is reduced connection costs, 100% bill collection, and more efficient energy management.

Rapid Deployment – lighting up the last-mile faster

Design, development and construction is all performed in-house using an established international supply chain that enables Sigora to deploy quickly and get customers online fast.

Infrastructure Optimization – secure revenue collection

Pay-as-you-go and mobile integration enables 100% bill capture - compared to ~30-40% revenue collection achieved by the national utility (example from Haitian national utility: Electricity d’Haiti)

Ability to scale – versatility for rural/urban diversification

Modular design allows for configuration on every level from power type (single phase, split phase and three-phase) to communication method. All configurations are deployed on the same integrated monitoring and control infrastructure.
