Equatorial Power (EP) is a mini-grid developer with a strong track record in renewable energy and access to productive energy projects in Africa. EP operates in Uganda, Rwanda and DRC and is headquartered in Kampala, with a presence in Kigali and Goma.

EP developed a unique model to address the power deficit whilst also adding value to
agricultural and other processing value chains by developing independent Productive Hubs (PHs) which are owned and operated by EP but which offer services such as wi-fi, low-cost briquette manufacture, cold-chain and e-mobility, creating an anchor load for the mini-grid whilst closing gaps in local value chains.

EP has so far connected over 7,500 households and businesses to renewable electricity in East Africa and is currently operating 8 mini-grids and 2 Productive Hubs.

Through this RFP EP seeks to partner with a qualified vendor to develop and implement a cutting-edge digital platform that will support and enhance the operations of EP projects and future endeavors.
